Using the ViewHelpers from this extension you can make any Fluid template into a PDF document. The extension `pdfviewhelpers` is using [TCPDF](https://tcpdf.org/) and [FPDI](https://www.setasign.com/products/fpdi) for the PDF generation. Key features ------------ [](#key-features) - ViewHelpers to render text and lists - ViewHelper to render images (supporting FAL and image processing) - ViewHelpers to repeatedly render header and footer - ViewHelper to render HTML / rich-text content - ViewHelper to avoid page breaks inside - ViewHelpers to create a multi column layout - ViewHelpers to create a table of content - Load existing PDF documents as template - Define and apply different text types easily - Fully customizable by writing your own ViewHelpers - Supports batch creation of PDFs - Supported output destinations: string, inline, download and file - Usable both in frontend and backend - Rich inheritance based TypoScript settings - Rich API [documentation](https://docs.typo3.org/p/bithost-gmbh/pdfviewhelpers/master/en-us/) with lots of examples Support Development ------------------- [](#support-development) With the extension `pdfviewhelpers` we try to take the pain out of creating PDF documents. We aim at providing the best service possible by constantly improving the extension and responding fast to bug reports. We do this fully free of cost, mostly because we love to code and share. However we are still human and have human needs like food, shelter and beer. So if you feel like this extension was useful to you and saved you and your business some precious time, please consider making a donation to support its maintenance and further development.
