<?php
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html =
'<html><body>'.
'<p>Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '.
'templating system.</p>'.

?>
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.

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
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 am using dompdf to convert html content to pdf.. this is my basic code
$path_pdf = BASE_PATH.'/public/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php';
require_once($path_pdf);
$html = '<p>Hello PHP</p>';
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
but at second line where i have included dompdf
... after doing it all when i run this page it shows me blank screen..and after doing some debugging i found dompdf_config.inc.php is not including...
i have checked my files path, it is correct.
Any idea..
Thank in advance.
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.

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.
