I want to add a button to download resume as PDF in same layout as I designed using bootstrap. I have also inserted image of the user. so please help me with specific solution with demo. bootstrap layout is must.
You really should use a library like Prince XML or MPDF for that.
As an example, mpdf is really easy to implement:
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();
$mpdf->WriteHTML('<h1>Hello world!</h1>');
$mpdf->Output();
Here is an online manual.

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 know I am a little bit late but hopefully this will help someone.
There are 2 ways:
Create HTML page and use jspdf to print this page. The best way is to use html2pdf: https://github.com/eKoopmans/html2pdf.js
You can use this one to convert html to canvas and print to pdf. All css will be kept but you have to change the page to fix the space between pages as there may be some bad cut at the end of each page.
Print the page using latex. You have to use laravel latex compiler: https://github.com/fvhockney/latexcompiler
It is a little bit harder to styling the page but there is no problem with paging.
i designed the invoice using bootstrap css, i used tcpdf to design invoice. I called bootstrap css file but its not working, Kindly help me.. My coding is
$baseurl = "http://localhost/erp";
$html = '<style>'.file_get_contents($baseurl.'css/bootstrap.min.css').'</style>';
$html = '<style>'.file_get_contents($baseurl.'css/style.css').'</style>';
First of all - Bootstrap use js scripts for working; As You understand, scripts could not be working in tcpdf file;
More than that - tcpdf not allowed all CSS attributes; I can't find supported css list in official documentation, but this can help;
I am developing a website in Cakephp framework, what i want to do, is to give the user option of downloading the page he is viewing in pdf format.I am using html2pdf plugin but its giving problem integrating with Cakephp. How can i solve this. Thanx for your interest.
Try TCPDF. It is simple and powerful enough.
Two options, one is paid and another open source. Both are good, and well documented.
PDFLib
FPDF
I would suggest starting with FPDF, and then learning/moving to PDFLib
Using DOMPDF.
Example Code :
<?php
require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html = "<h1>some document</h1>";
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->set_paper('A4');
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("pdfReport.pdf");
?>
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.
