I am using kartik mpdf extension to generate using the mention below code it work and show the pdf in next tab
$pdf = new Pdf([
'mode' => Pdf::MODE_UTF8, // leaner size using standard fonts
'filename' => 'Bill_of_lading_'.$exportDetail->booking_number.'_'.$customerDetail->customer_name.'_'.$customerDetail->company_name.'.pdf',
'content' => $this->renderPartial('landing', [
'model' => $this->findModel($id),
]),
'options' => [
'title' => 'Privacy Policy - Krajee.com',
'subject' => 'Generating PDF files via yii2-mpdf extension has never been easy'
],
'methods' => [
'SetHeader' => ['Generated By: ARIANA WORLDWIDE||Generated On: ' . date("r")],
'SetFooter' => ['|Page {PAGENO}|'],
]
]);
return $pdf->render();
Now for send the generatd pdf on mail i want to send the mail before save it on server using below code
$content = $pdf->content;
$filename = $pdf->filename;
$sendemail=Yii::$app->mail->compose()
->attachContent($content, [
'fileName' => $filename,
'contentType' => 'application/pdf'
])
->setFrom('mushahidh224#gmail.com')
->setTo('rajwabarocho#gmail.com')
->setSubject('Design Beta sending subject here')
->send();
Try my best to hit api and generate pdf but this also doesnt work.
$mpdf = $pdf->getApi();
$mpdf->WriteHTML($content);
$path = $mpdf->Output(Yii::getAlias('#backend').'/uploads/pdf/'.$filename.'.pdf', 'F');

I cant find where the exact error is but I had successfully generated pdf via mpdf with
$model= $this->findModel($id);
// get your HTML raw content without any layouts or scripts
$content = $this->renderPartial('print_salaryslip',['model'=>$model]);
// setup kartik\mpdf\Pdf component
$pdf = new Pdf([
// set to use core fonts only
'mode' => Pdf::MODE_BLANK,
// A4 paper format
'format' => Pdf::FORMAT_A4,
// portrait orientation
'orientation' => Pdf::ORIENT_PORTRAIT,
// stream to browser inline
'destination' => Pdf::DEST_BROWSER,
// your html content input
'content' => $content,
// format content from your own css file if needed or use the
// enhanced bootstrap css built by Krajee for mPDF formatting
'cssFile' => '#vendor/kartik-v/yii2-mpdf/assets/kv-mpdf-bootstrap.min.css',
// any css to be embedded if required
'cssInline' => '.kv-heading-1{font-size:18px}',
// set mPDF properties on the fly
'options' => ['title' => 'Krajee Report Title'],
// call mPDF methods on the fly
'methods' => [
'SetHeader'=>[' PAYSLIP'],
'SetFooter'=>['{PAGENO}'],
]
]);
// return the pdf output as per the destination setting
return $pdf->render();
and make sure the$contentis pure html.

Do something like this
...
if (!empty($id)) {
$emailSend = Yii::$app->mailer->compose(['html' =>'My-template-html'],[
'email' => $receiver->email,
'name' => $receiver->name
])
->setFrom(["info#mail.com"])
->setTo($email)
->setSubject($subject)
->attach(Yii::getAlias('#backend').'/web/uploads/pdf/'.'Certificate'.'.pdf');
return $emailSend->send();
Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', 'Email Sent Successfully');
}
...
