### HTML2PDF Document converter

[](#html2pdf-document-converter)

HTML2PDF is a Kohana 3.x module that can be used to convert a HTML document into a PDF document. This module uses the [wkhtmltopdf](http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/)as a back-end to handle the conversions.

#### Requirements

[](#requirements)

You must have the [wkhtmltopdf](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/) static binary (at least version 0.10 RC1) installed onto your machine and in the PATH read by the user executing the PHP application

#### Usage

[](#usage)

You can create a PDF document from HTML like so (Optionally specifying the HTML content)

```
$document = HTML2PDF::document($html)

```

From here you can apply some different formatting options to the document including

- `$document->body($html)` - Set the HTML body content of the PDF
- `$document->header($html)` - Set the HTML to render at the top of each page
- `$document->header_spacing($spacing)` - Set the spacing between the content and header
- `$document->margins($top, $left, $bottom, $right)` - Set the margins for the document (in millimeters)

See the [class itself](classes/Kohana/HTML2PDF/Document.php) for all the available methods.

Finally you can then render the document as a PDF two different ways. You can eaither save the PDF to a file on the file-system, or you can convert the PDF and have the PDF BLOB returned.

```
// Save to the filesystem
$document->save('/home/evan/document.pdf');

// Save to filesystem and return temporary file path
$temp_path = $document->save();

// Convert and put the BLOB into a variable
$pdf_blob = $document->convert();

```
