i solved my problem with this code in my pdf file
class PDF extends FPDF {
	private $surface='';
	private $data='';

	//initialise les variables globales
	function InitVar($item) {
		$this->surface 	= trim ($item->surface); 
		$this->data = JRequest::get('post');
	}
with <input in view>

and this in my controller
function printy()
	{          
		// Get data from the model
		$model = $this->getModel(batenergieitem);
		$model->activeAll();
		$model->active('predefined', 'default');
		$item		= $model->getItem();
    
           		require(JPATH_COMPONENT.'/print/pdf_file.php'); }
          
		$pdf->Output();
	}

No.

This is wrong. It works only if the user just finished his form.
$this->data = JRequest::get('post');


REPLACE :
require(JPATH_COMPONENT.'/print/pdf_file.php');

BY :
require(JPATH_COMPONENT.'/print/pdf_file.php'); //same
//Then :
$pdf->InitVar($item);	//Here you send your item to the class (below, to code to change in your PDF class)
$pdf->Output();

PDF Class :
class PDF extends FPDF {
	private $surface='';
	private $data='';


//When is called this function ? (At the contruct, or before Output() ?? VERY IMPORTANT)

	//initialise les variables globales
	function InitVar($item) {
		$this->data = $item;
		$this->surface 	= trim ($this->data->surface); 
	}
Coding is now a piece of cake

  I still don't believe he can really be human to do all this ! From all of the forums that I've ever participated in this is certainly the one that most encapsulates the feeling of being truly open source where everyone's opinions and contributions can and will shape the development of the service! It's truly awesome! Hope you enjoy cooking and look forward to reading and contributing to any of the editorial work that you proposed too!! Thanks
