I made PDF invoice works perfectly in opencart

I added ane function on system controller calld renderPDF(), and called the tcpdf class with the tepmlate and it works perfectly.
just call the renderPDF instead of the render function, in admin/customer,order.php -> invoice()
or in catolog/success as well, and you get the invoicr as PDF.
I used example 6 from http://www.tcpdf.org examples.
also I changed the tcpdf that I cad send the PDF file invoice as attachment.
this is the code I used:
/// -----------> add to system/controller after you put the tcpdf class in system/external/tcpdf
