HTML to PDF Converter based on wkhtmltopdf for PHP
==================================================

[](#html-to-pdf-converter-based-on-wkhtmltopdf-for-php)

This is a yet another html to pdf converter for php. This package uses [wkhtmltopdf](https://github.com/antialize/wkhtmltopdf) as a third-party tool so `proc_*()` functions have to be enabled in your php configurations and `wkhtmltopdf` tool should be installed in your machine (You can download it from [here](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/)).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add this to your `composer.json`

```
{
    "require": {
        "cangelis/pdf": "2.2.*"
    }
}

```

and run `composer.phar update`

Some examples
-------------

[](#some-examples)

```
$pdf = new CanGelis\PDF\PDF('/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf');

echo $pdf->loadHTML('Hello World')->get();

echo $pdf->loadURL('http://www.laravel.com')->grayscale()->pageSize('A3')->orientation('Landscape')->get();

echo $pdf->loadHTMLFile('/home/can/index.html')->lowquality()->pageSize('A2')->get();

```

\## Saving the output

php-pdf uses [League\\Flysystem](https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem) to save the file to the local or remote filesystems.

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
$pdfObject->save(string $filename, League\Flysystem\AdapterInterface $adapter, $overwrite)

```

`filename`: the name of the file you want to save with

`adapter`: FlySystem Adapter

`overwrite`: If set to `true` and the file exists it will be overwritten, otherwise an Exception will be thrown.

### Examples

[](#examples)

```
// Save the pdf to the local file system
$pdf->loadHTML('Hello World')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'));

// Save to AWS S3
$client = S3Client::factory([
    'key'    => '[your key]',
    'secret' => '[your secret]',
]);
$pdf->loadHTML('Hello World')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\AwsS3($client, 'bucket-name', 'optional-prefix'));

// Save to FTP
$ftpConf = [
    'host' => 'ftp.example.com',
    'username' => 'username',
    'password' => 'password',

    /** optional config settings */
    'port' => 21,
    'root' => '/path/to/root',
    'passive' => true,
    'ssl' => true,
    'timeout' => 30,
];
$pdf->loadHTML('Hello World')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Ftp($ftpConf));

// Save to the multiple locations and echo to the screen
echo $pdf->loadHTML('Hello World')
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Ftp($ftpConf))
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\AwsS3($client, 'bucket-name', 'optional-prefix'))
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'))
        ->get();

```
