LimeMpdf use <pagebreak> or <pagebreak /> directly, plugin is adpated to allow <br pagebreak="true" /> for pagebreak.

Image inclusion

You can include image with <img src="/upload/files/picture.png" /> or with Data URI. All image are validated before included in the pdf and replaced by a white 1px size picture if not available. It's better to use local image (or DATA uri) for speedest generation of the pdf.

pdfreport's Issues

"QuestionAttribute".".gid" not defined

Hello!

I'm having some issue while using this plugin. Everything works fine if the survey is set to "question by question" or "all in one", but if it is set to "group by group" I get the error message "QuestionAttribute".".gid" not defined. Is there a way to solve this issue?

My system configuration is:

LimeSurvey version: 3.28.59
LimeSurvey build: 230517
Operating system: Linux 5.4.0-150-generic #167-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 15 17:35:05 UTC 2023 x86_64
PHP version: 7.4.33
Web server software: Apache
Database driver: mysql
Database driver version: mysqlnd 7.4.33
Database server version: 8.0.33-0ubuntu0.20.04.2

Thank you very much!
