I am new to CodeIgniter, trying to convert HTML to PDF. Text is almost same in both html_page_output and pdf_output but CSS and images are not working in PDF.
My controller code is like this:
$html = $this->load->view('searching/pdfShow', $data,true);
$this->load->library('dompdf_gen');
$this->dompdf->load_html($html);
$this->dompdf->render();
$this->dompdf->stream("welcome.pdf");
Check the URLs you have in src attribute. It most likely should be absolute, not like "/images/foo/bar.png" but "http://yourdomain.com/images/foo/bar.png"

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.

In php code I use mPDF library for generating PDF.
I am facing a problem with insert svg into PDF
The svg file I catch via POST:
$svg = $_POST['structureSVG'];
$svg_pdf = str_replace('"', '\'', $svg); //change " to '
proof what is inside:
var_dump($svg_pdf);
//shows string which contains:
<svg>...</svg>
here I can be sure, that the SVG was captured correctly. So I put the SVG:
$html = " <div> $svg_pdf </div> ";
$mpdf -> WriteHTML($html);
$mpdf -> Output('pdf/test_svg.pdf', 'I');
but unfortunately the SVG picture is not rendered in PDF
thank You for any help
You need to handle the SVG as regular <img> tag. From my point of view, it'd be easiest to save the file to the temp directory and then let it load with mPDF:
<img src="path/to/the/temp/file.svg">
Unfortunately, you can not use data uri for SVG images (at least in version 5.7.4).
I am using open cart. I am generating a PDF file using TCPDF. I load my html from a tpl file, which has form with dynamic data. here is my code
$pdf = new TCPDF()
$pdf->AddPage('P');
$html = $this->render();
$pdf->writeHTML($html);
$pdf->Output();
Its showing me output but its breaking the result.
I have five parts in my form but its just showing me first two why is this so.
Plus my css is not working well.
i am using codeigniter i am working on invoice and i want to print a PDF file of my invoice page here is my controller.
$pdfFilePath ='invoice.pdf';
$data=$this->singleinvoice($invoiceId);
ini_set('memory_limit','32M');
$html = $this->load->view('invoice/invoicetopdf', $data, true);
$this->load->library('pdf');
$pdf = $this->pdf->load();
$pdf->SetFooter($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'|{PAGENO}|'.date(DATE_RFC822));
$pdf->WriteHTML($html);
$pdf->Output($pdfFilePath, 'D');
redirect("invoice");
when i echo $html veriable is show fine but when it output the pdf .it has no css styling i mean it convert the HTML without any of my css Style.
i also tried the following but no luck.
$style=file_get_contents(base_url().'_assets/css/bootstrap.css');
$pdf->WriteHTML($style,1);
$pdf->Output($pdfFilePath, 'D');
Now i want to convert my HTML page to PDF as it is shown to the public with complete styling and markups.
does it possible any suggestion or solution ?
you have to convert your Page Structure from DIV to Traditional Table structure.
arrange your elements contents etc.into table or tables.
then try some basic CSS.
because most of CSS are not supported in mpdf or any other pdf converter.

I am generating pdf from html source using mpdf library in php and everything seems working perfect.
Now I have an issue with the images. Suppose before page end I'm inserting an image but image is big so that it doesn't fit at the bottom of first page and goes to second page. Now I have a long white space at the end of first page because image moved to second page.
Now I want is "if next item to insert in pdf is an image then calculate the remaining size of pdf page if it is less than Image size then adjust the image size so that image can be fit in the pdf page instead of moving to next page" how can i do this here?
Please check the issue image :
If any one has other solution please help me to sort out.
Here's My sample code
include_once 'simple_html_dom.php'; //import html dom and mpdf library
include 'PDFScript/MPDF/mpdf.php';
$mpdf = new mPDF('','','','',15,15,30,15,8,8); //create mpdf object
$html = new simple_html_dom(); //create html dom object
$html = file_get_html("htmlsource.html"); //htmlsource.html is a webpage can contain any html data
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html); //write html source to pdf
$mpdf->Output(); //generate pdf
I got a solution from mpdf forum itself. If Anyone also has the same problem enclose every image in your html inside table as table has a autosize feature in mpdf library.
