I attempted to modify the issue_to_pdf method in issues_pdf_helper.rb to verify if my changes were being applied. Specifically, I added a test text "TESTING" to the generated PDF to confirm that modifications were taking effect.

I just tried to add some text in the PDF to see if it will take affect

def issue_to_pdf(issue, assoc={})
  pdf = ITCPDF.new(current_language)
  pdf.set_title("#{issue.project} - #{issue.tracker} ##{issue.id}")
  pdf.alias_nb_pages
  pdf.footer_date = format_date(User.current.today)
  pdf.add_page
  pdf.SetFontStyle('B', 11)
  buf = "#{issue.project} - #{issue.tracker} ##{issue.id}" 
  pdf.RDMMultiCell(190, 5, buf)

  # Test Text
  pdf.SetFontStyle('B', 10) # ADDED THIS LINE
  pdf.RDMMultiCell(190, 5, "TESTING", 0, 'C') # ADDED THIS LINE

  pdf.SetFontStyle('', 8)
  base_x = pdf.get_x
  i = 1
  issue.ancestors.visible.each do |ancestor|
    pdf.set_x(base_x + i)
    buf = "#{ancestor.tracker} # #{ancestor.id} (#{ancestor.status}): #{ancestor.subject}" 
    pdf.RDMMultiCell(190 - i, 5, buf)
    i += 1 if i < 35
  end
<-- Rest of the code -->
  • Saved the modified file.
  • cleared the cache
    rm -rf /opt/redmine/tmp/cache/*
rm -rf /opt/redmine/tmp/sessions/*
  • and restarted the apache2
  • tried to download a pdf from a issue and the "TESTING" text did not appear in the generated PDF.
