Comment:

 I think my explanation was indeed not suffucient. I'll try to elaborate
 it:

 The user first creates an order, and generates the PDF for that order. No
 problem there. Next he generates an invoice from this order (NOTE that he
 does not go to the order-list, everything happens in the order-screen so
 far). The generated invoice appears and then the user generate the PDF for
 the invoice. This is the point where the error occurs.

 My diagnosis was based on this part of the error-message:

 headers already sent by (output started at C:\Program
 Files\xampp\htdocs\vtiger_crm\modules\Invoice\CreatePDF.php:375)

 and this part:

 FPDF error: Some data has already been output to browser, can't send PDF
 file

 It seems to me that the error occurs because the PDF-generation is not
 reset completely after generating the PDF. Going to an overview screen
 (like the orders list) seems to reset the problem as after that you can
 generate the PDF for the invoice without problems.

 NOTE: the problem is only happening when you generate a PDF for an order
 and immediately generate the invoice and subsequently also generate the
 PDF for the invoice. My client stumbled upon this while trying out the
 functionality of vTiger. In normal daily use I think there will almost
 always be a timespan between creating the order and creating the invoice.

 I reopened the ticket so you might test the solution with my additional
 information. I hope the solution is a sure fix. Thanks
