[](#install-wkhtmltopdf)

- Ubuntu 16.04 x64

```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf
```

```

If laravel version < 5.5, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

```
NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Html2pdfServiceProvider::class,

```

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

```
'Pdf'  => NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Facades\Pdf::class,

```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

To create PDF add something like this to one of your controllers.

```
use NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Facades\Pdf;

$document = Pdf::generatePdf('Test');
```

You can also create PDF from directly calling laravel blade file. Suppose you have a mail template named greeting in view/mails folder and want to send parameter then you have to call generatePdf method as described in below

```

$document =  Pdf::generatePdf(view('mails.greeting', ['name' => 'James', 'testVar' => 'demo']));
```

Now If you want to send mail to your client attaching pdf then you can follow this code

```
/**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */
public function build()
{
    return $this->from('username@gmail.com')
                ->view('mails.demo')
                ->attachData($document, 'Invoice.pdf');
}

```
