I have added a custom PDF generator of the product page which has worked fine for a year. I decided it was time to update my Joomla to the latest version and this seemed to break the category links in my Hikashop. So I updated Hikashop and the links are resolved, but now my custom PDF generator does not work - it shows a blank page Now I know there will be no support for a custom add-on. But I see that HikaShop 3.2.2 included "We've updated the HTML2PDf and TCPDF libraries of the PDF invoice plugin to the latest versions." I guess this is the problem. So I am trying to find these changes and change them back to how they were. Any tips on where to look for this?
