I use <style> tag for including style.

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 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;
So I am using the codeigniter pdf library from: https://github.com/chrisnharvey/CodeIgniter-PDF-Generator-Library
And it works wonders except, It doesn't keep the style sheet when the pdf is generated.
I am trying to use bootstrap to make it look nice, But when I run the script and download the pdf it doesn't have the styling anymore. What do I need to do to keep the stylesheet linked?
My Controller:
public function AdminPracticeSheetLateReport()
{
$this->load->view('pdf/practiceLateReport');
$this->pdf->load_view('pdf/practiceLateReport');
$this->pdf->render();
$this->pdf->stream("welcome.pdf");
}
I am loading the bootstrap stylesheet like so in my view:
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Is this even possible with this plugin? If not it's quite the crappy plugin if you ask me.
BTW: This library for codeigniter uses the DomPDF
I just checked the source code of codeigniter and noticed that it does not itself make a PDF, but uses DOMPDF in turn (which is another PHP library). codeigniter does not properly send the html and css to DOMPDF, so in my suggestion you should remove codeigniter and use DOMPDF instead. This should correct your problem and also speed up the conversion by a few miliseconds.
I'm using php library mpdf for generating pdf files from HTML content. For short paragraph text mpdf is working normally but when there is more than one page long content mpdf is generating pdf file within a single page with very small font. It doesn't worked when I gave sufficient font-size.
Is there any parameter that can be set for page break in mpdf ?
Please use <div> instead of using <table>. MPDF will shrink the content inside <tr> <td> to o
I'm using FPDF to create an A4 sized PDF, I can add text/images and this is working fine. I have a dynamically generated string which contains some HTML tags (BR etc) and was wondering how I can have that output onto the PDF as opposed to literally printing the tags out.
$centre = urldecode($row_CertDetails['centre_name']);
$pdf->Text(10, 110, $centre);
I've seen on some forums people mentioning WriteHTML, however my version of FPDF doesn't seem to include that.
Is it an add-on?
Yes, it is an Add-On:
Write HTML
Author: Clément Lavoillotte
License: FPDF
This is an enhancement of the WriteHTML() method from tutorial 6. Supported tags are: ...
Please see Write HTML FPDF Script #42 which I think is the latest version, but feel free to browse the FPDF scripts/Add-Ons.
I've solved it anyway.
Because I'm also using FPDI, what I did was extract the contents of the class in http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script42.php and put it inside the FPDI.php file.
