What are common pitfalls when trying to generate a PDF file using FPDF in PHP?

Common pitfalls when generating a PDF file using FPDF in PHP include not setting the appropriate headers before outputting the PDF content, not closing the PDF document properly, and not handling errors effectively. To solve these issues, make sure to set the "Content-Type" header to "application/pdf", close the PDF document using the "Output" method, and implement error handling to catch any potential issues. 

// Set the appropriate headers
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');

// Close the PDF document properly
$pdf->Output('filename.pdf', 'D');

// Implement error handling
if($pdf->Error()) {
    echo 'An error occurred: ' . $pdf->Error();
}
