I've tried a number of experiments trying to use sourcerer to generate a pdf output. I've tried writing a script that works fine locally with FPFD, including the script file in an article. It doesn't generate any errors, but the resulting file is blank. I also tried using PHOCA PDF plug in with a script that echoes output to the article text. PHOCA outputs a readable pdf, but all the echoed content is missing. Anyone know the path to success?

Thanks. I tried PHOCA too and it only renders the hard text in the article, not any text generated via scripts. So it looks like I'm outta luck. I wish Jumi was still a thing because the next option seems to be to just build a php file outside of joomla.
