Laravel PDF: mPDF wrapper for Laravel 5
=======================================

[](#laravel-pdf-mpdf-wrapper-for-laravel-5)

> Easily generate PDF documents from HTML right inside of Laravel using this mPDF wrapper.

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

[](#installation)

Require this package in your `composer.json` or install it by running:

```
composer require niklasravnsborg/laravel-pdf

```

To start using Laravel, add the Service Provider and the Facade to your `config/app.php`:

```
'providers' => [
	// ...
	niklasravnsborg\LaravelPdf\PdfServiceProvider::class
]
```

```
'aliases' => [
	// ...
	'PDF' => niklasravnsborg\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf::class
]
```

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

[](#basic-usage)

To use Laravel PDF add something like this to one of your controllers. You can pass data to a view in `/resources/views`.

```
use PDF;

function generate_pdf() {
	$data = [
		'foo' => 'bar'
	];
	$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.document', $data);
	return $pdf->stream('document.pdf');
}
```

Config
------

[](#config)

You can use a custom file to overwrite the default configuration. Just create `config/pdf.php` and add this:

```
return [
	'mode'                 => '',
	'format'               => 'A4',
	'default_font_size'    => '12',
	'default_font'         => 'sans-serif',
	'margin_left'          => 10,
	'margin_right'         => 10,
	'margin_top'           => 10,
	'margin_bottom'        => 10,
	'margin_header'        => 0,
	'margin_footer'        => 0,
	'orientation'          => 'P',
	'title'                => 'Laravel mPDF',
	'author'               => '',
	'watermark'            => '',
	'show_watermark'       => false,
	'watermark_font'       => 'sans-serif',
	'display_mode'         => 'fullpage',
	'watermark_text_alpha' => 0.1
];
```

Headers and Footers
-------------------

[](#headers-and-footers)

If you want to have headers and footers that appear on every page, add them to your `` tag like this:

```

	Your Header Content

	Your Footer Content

```

Now you just need to define them with the name attribute in your CSS:

```
@page {
	header: page-header;
	footer: page-footer;
}
```

Inside of headers and footers `{PAGENO}` can be used to display the page number.

Included Fonts
--------------

[](#included-fonts)

By default you can use all the fonts [shipped with mPDF](https://mpdf.github.io/fonts-languages/available-fonts-v6.html).

Custom Fonts
------------

[](#custom-fonts)

You can use your own fonts in the generated PDFs. The TTF files have to be located in one folder, e.g. `/resources/fonts/`. Add this to your configuration file (`/config/pdf.php`):

```
return [
	'custom_font_path' => base_path('/resources/fonts/'), // don't forget the trailing slash!
	'custom_font_data' => [
		'examplefont' => [
			'R'  => 'ExampleFont-Regular.ttf',    // regular font
			'B'  => 'ExampleFont-Bold.ttf',       // optional: bold font
			'I'  => 'ExampleFont-Italic.ttf',     // optional: italic font
			'BI' => 'ExampleFont-Bold-Italic.ttf' // optional: bold-italic font
		]
		// ...add as many as you want.
	]
];
```

Now you can use the font in CSS:

```
body {
	font-family: 'examplefont', sans-serif;
}
```

Set Protection
--------------

[](#set-protection)

To set protection, you just call the `SetProtection()` method and pass an array with permissions, an user password and an owner password.

The passwords are optional.

There are a fews permissions: `'copy'`, `'print'`, `'modify'`, `'annot-forms'`, `'fill-forms'`, `'extract'`, `'assemble'`, `'print-highres'`.

```
use PDF;

function generate_pdf() {
	$data = [
		'foo' => 'bar'
	];
	$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.document', $data);
	$pdf->SetProtection(['copy', 'print'], '', 'pass');
	return $pdf->stream('document.pdf');
}
```
