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'm using mPDF to export a large table to a PDF. As I've read online, I need to break my HTML content into chunks and pass them to WriteHTML method one by one.
But looks like my bootstrap CSS is not getting exported when I do this. My table borders are not visible. No paddings...etc.
How can I achieve both these tasks?
This is my code:
$content_chunks = str_split($content, 1000);
$pdf = new Pdf();
$mpdf = $pdf->api; // fetches mpdf api
$mpdf->SetHTMLHeader(static::buildHeader());
$mpdf->SetHTMLFooter('Generated On: ' . date("r").'||{PAGENO}');
foreach($content_chunks as $html)
{
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
}
return $mpdf->Output($file_name,'D');
This is what the official docs say about breaking large HTML into chunks. But I can't find any information with related to exporting bootstrap css.
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 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 newbie to php.
I have developed small application in PHP. Now I have few label controls in one webpage inside form. that i want to save in pdf. Is there any tool like itextsharp (In ASp.net), where I can export one panel or form to pdf. (By rendering)
I checked fpdf and other. In that we can print text. My label data is coming from MYSQL.
Any suggestion.
I suggest mpdf. I'ts very simple, you can create your html as string and render it as pdf.
require_once("mpdf/mpdf.php");
$html = "<p>Hello World</p>";
$mpdf = new mPDF('c', 'A4');
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
print $mpdf->Output();
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.
