ProdigyPDF
----------

[](#prodigypdf)

This package is based on a fork from [laravel-dompdf](https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf), modified to meet the constraints of a laravel 5.3 project i'm currently working on.

If you need a pdf package for all laravel versions, please check [laravel-dompdf](https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf).

Laravel 5.3
-----------

[](#laravel-53)

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

```
'Abiodunjames\Prodigypdf\ServiceProvider',

```

You can optionally use the facade for shorter code. Add this to your facades:

```
'PDF' => 'Abiodunjames\Prodigypdf\Facade',

```

Mail certificate to user

```
 $pdf=    PDF::loadView('prodigypdf::certificate',[]);
  $email ='example@gmail.com';
  return $pdf->sendTo($email);

```

Save document to path

```
 $pdf=    PDF::loadView('prodigypdf::certificate',[]);
 $path= $pdf->saveToPath('/document'); //save to /storage/document

```

You can create a new DOMPDF instance and load a HTML string, file or view name. You can save it to a file, or stream (show in browser) or download.

```
$pdf = App::make('prodigypdf');
$pdf->loadHTML('Test');
return $pdf->stream();

```

Or use the facade:

```
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.invoice', $data);
return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');

```

You can chain the methods:

```
return PDF::loadFile(public_path().'/myfile.html')->save('/path-to/my_stored_file.pdf')->stream('download.pdf');

```

You can change the orientation and paper size, and hide or show errors (by default, errors are shown when debug is on)

```
PDF::loadHTML($html)->setPaper('a4')->setOrientation('landscape')->setWarnings(false)->save('myfile.pdf')

```

If you need the output as a string, you can get the rendered PDF with the output() function, so you can save/output it yourself.

You can copy the config-file (`config/dompdf.php`) to your local config to change some settings (default paper etc). You can also use your ConfigProvider to set certain keys.
