Good Day,
I am trying to render a calendar to pdf using dompdf,
heres my html
and my php
<?php
// require .'vendor/dompdf/autoload.inc.php';
require("vendor/dompdf/autoload.inc.php");
use Dompdf\Dompdf;
// Instantiate and use the dompdf class
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
// Load HTML content
$dompdf->loadHtml($_REQUEST['html']);
// (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation
$dompdf->setPaper('LETTER', 'portrait');
// Render the HTML as PDF
$dompdf->render();
// Output the generated PDF to Browser
$dompdf->stream();
?>
the html is is good I think, just without head and html tag.
and heres the result.
can you please help me figure what wrong? the html displays fine on browser too.
Might be too late to this answer, but anyone looking for this issue, please try display: inline, it solves this issue but still need to specify width and height and not auto calculate.

I haven't been able to find a way to display on the Browser's tab a Title (like meta title) when generating a PDF suing domppdf.
In some posts they suggest adding this to the HTML code:
<html>
<head><title> My Title </title>
</head>
<body>
/** PDF Content **/
</body>
But, maybe it is due to version that I am using, but adding these tags breaks my code and dompdf returns a long error. I only have the body and it works great.
Unfortunately I can't upgrade my version of dompdf, so I am trying to find another solution.
I don't think it is possible by using PHP headers, but I am open to suggestions.
I have this so far:
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
ob_start();
include("pdf_HTML.php");
$fileName = "download.pdf";
$content = ob_get_clean();
$dompdf->loadHtml($content);
// (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation
$dompdf->setPaper('Letter', 'portrait');
// Render the HTML as PDF
$dompdf->render();
// Output the generated PDF to Browser
header("Content-type:application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fileName.pdf'");
$dompdf->stream($fileName,array('Attachment'=>0));
After much looking I found the way:
$dompdf->add_info('Title', 'Your meta title');
It took me some time to find the answer so I am sure this will be helpful for someone else.
I use DOMPDF to create a PDF document. It works well but the document has 4 pages, all are size of A4.
For example:
Page 1 = Intro
Page 2 = Big table with alot of information
Page 3 = Outro
Page 4 = Logo
For pages 1,3 and 4 the A4 size is good. For page 2 I want to change the page size to A3.
I hope someone can help me out.
Dompdf does not yet support this type of functionality. To achieve something like this you would need to render each segment separately with Dompdf then combine them using an external library such as libmergepdf (or some other method).
This, of course, assumes you can easily break your document into separate HTML files.
Some (pseudo-ish) code:
<?php
use Dompdf\Dompdf;
use iio\libmergepdf\Merger;
use iio\libmergepdf\Pages;
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml("a4section.html");
$dompdf->setPaper("a4");
$dompdf->render();
file_put_contents('a4section.pdf', $dompdf->output());
unset($dompdf);
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml("a3section.html");
$dompdf->setPaper("a3");
$dompdf->render();
file_put_contents('a3section.pdf', $dompdf->output());
$merger = new Merger;
$merger->addIterator(['a4section.pdf', 'a4section.pdf']);
$createdPdf = $merger->merge();
?>
There's a related enhancement request for this type of functionality using a single HTML document, but no timeline for implementation. See https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf/issues/498
I am working with laravael,I have an HTML view that has CSS integrated. I want to convert into a PDF. If I open the view (it doesn't mather if I open it via my Documents or by a link in my app) it works fine, everything looks ok. But if I get that file and generate a PDF with dompdf, when I open it the css for the background and the images are in their places but the texts change places and have another size.
Here is how I convert it to a PDF
$file = file_get_contents("../resources/views/panel/historial/pdfs/otros.html");
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->loadHtml($file);
//$dompdf->load_html_file($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("otros.pdf", array("Attachment" => 0));
return $dompdf;
enter image description here
I think that is not working in that way to except then the DOMPDF-Renderer has not the full CSS functionality.

Here is a list of elements that are supported. So in your case i would suggest that you render a new template and make it with a different style for your PDF.
Another good solution is wkhtmltopdf which has a better support but is a command line tool which you have to call over php or if you don't need PHP then run it directly from your command line.

I am doing a site for travel agency.it has a report creation module,reports are saved in pdf format i have used dompdf for pdf creation .I need the same pdf should contain two reports .I got the two reports in same pdf but the 2nd one should starts in a new page. how could i do this?
<?php
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html =
'<html><body>'.
'<p>Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '.
'templating system.</p>'.
'</body></html>';
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
?>
I have used the above code but the $html variable used different.Any help will be appreciated.
You can use
style="page-break-after:always"
to create new page.
//edit full snippet of code:
<div style="page-break-after:always;">Your 2 page</div>
Call $dompdf->new_page();
Props for the Googling skills by the way.
A client of mine has a food blog hosted on WordPress. Each post entry contains some text and a div called "recipes" with some more text inside it. They would like to add to this div a link that generates a PDF of the recipe, dynamically, for saving or printing, as the user sees fit.
I have seen quite a few Wordpress plugins that offer the conversion of entire posts to PDF but not anything that's customizable enough to select a given portion of a post, the way we'd like to.
Any suggestions on how to do this? I'm comfortable with PHP, Javascript, CSS but am new to the various PDF libraries.
Take a look at dompdf It's pretty easy to work with :) This is from the documentation:
<?php
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html =
'<html><body>'.
'<p>Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '.
'templating system.</p>'.
'</body></html>';
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
If you need more control than dompdf you could always use PHP's XML/XSL methods to convert the HTML to XSL:FO and use FOP on the commandline to generate the PDF. It's a little long-winded but you get complete control of the output styling/structure, the ability to "lock" the PDF, provide metadata, etc.
