Easily generate PDF documents from HTML right inside of Laravel using this mPDF wrapper.
Require this package in your composer.json or install it by running:
composer require niklasravnsborg/laravel-pdf
Now, you should publish package's config file to your config directory by using following command:
php artisan vendor:publish
To use Laravel PDF add something like this to one of your controllers. You can pass data to a view in /resources/views.
use PDF;
function generate_pdf() {
$data = [
'foo' => 'bar'
];
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.document', $data);
return $pdf->stream('document.pdf');
}
It is also possible to use the following methods on the pdf object:
output(): Outputs the PDF as a string.
save($filename): Save the PDF to a file
download($filename): Make the PDF downloadable by the user.
stream($filename): Return a response with the PDF to show in the browser.
If you have published config file, you can change the default settings in config/pdf.php file:
return [
'format' => 'A4', // See https://mpdf.github.io/paging/page-size-orientation.html
'author' => 'John Doe',
'subject' => 'This Document will explain the whole universe.',
'keywords' => 'PDF, Laravel, Package, Peace', // Separate values with comma
'creator' => 'Laravel Pdf',
'display_mode' => 'fullpage'
];
To override this configuration on a per-file basis use the fourth parameter of the initializing call like this:
PDF::loadView('pdf', $data, [], [
'format' => 'A5-L'
])->save($pdfFilePath);
If you want to have headers and footers that appear on every page, add them to your <body> tag like this:
<htmlpageheader name="page-header">
Your Header Content
</htmlpageheader>
<htmlpagefooter name="page-footer">
Your Footer Content
</htmlpagefooter>
Now you just need to define them with the name attribute in your CSS:
@page {
header: page-header;
footer: page-footer;
}
Inside of headers and footers {PAGENO} can be used to display the page number.

brew install imagemagick ghostscript
pecl install imagick
