These fonts only support Windows ANSI encoding. In order for a PDF to display characters that are not available in Windows ANSI, you must supply an external font. Dompdf will embed any referenced font in the PDF so long as it has been pre-loaded or is accessible to dompdf and reference in CSS @font-face rules. See the [font overview](https://github.com/flawlessnode/dompdf-utf8/wiki/About-Fonts-and-Character-Encoding)for more information on how to use fonts. The [DejaVu TrueType fonts](https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/) have been pre-installed to give dompdf decent Unicode character coverage by default. To use the DejaVu fonts reference the font in your stylesheet, e.g. `body { font-family: DejaVu Sans; }` (for DejaVu Sans). The following DejaVu 2.34 fonts are available: DejaVu Sans, DejaVu Serif, and DejaVu Sans Mono. Easy Installation ----------------- [](#easy-installation) ### Install with composer [](#install-with-composer) To install with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), simply require the latest version of this package. ``` composer require flawlessnode/dompdf-utf8 ``` Make sure that the autoload file from Composer is loaded. ``` // somewhere early in your project's loading, require the Composer autoloader // see: http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md require 'vendor/autoload.php'; ``` Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) Just pass your HTML in to dompdf and stream the output: ``` // reference the Dompdf namespace use Dompdf\Dompdf; // instantiate and use the dompdf class $dompdf = new Dompdf(); $dompdf->loadHtml('hello world'); // (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation $dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape'); // Render the HTML as PDF $dompdf->render(); // Output the generated PDF to Browser $dompdf->stream(); ``` ### Setting Options [](#setting-options) Set options during dompdf instantiation: ``` use Dompdf\Dompdf; use Dompdf\Options; $options = new Options(); $options->set('defaultFont', 'Courier'); $dompdf = new Dompdf($options); ``` or at run time ``` use Dompdf\Dompdf; $dompdf = new Dompdf(); $options = $dompdf->getOptions(); $options->setDefaultFont('Courier'); $dompdf->setOptions($options); ``` See [Dompdf\\Options](src/Options.php) for a list of available options. ### Resource Reference Requirements [](#resource-reference-requirements) In order to protect potentially sensitive information Dompdf imposes restrictions on files referenced from the local file system or the web. Files accessed through web-based protocols have the following requirements: - The Dompdf option "isRemoteEnabled" must be set to "true" - PHP must either have the curl extension enabled or the allow\_url\_fopen setting set to true Files accessed through the local file system have the following requirement: - The file must fall within the path(s) specified for the Dompdf "chroot" option Limitations (Known Issues) -------------------------- [](#limitations-known-issues) - Table cells are not pageable, meaning a table row must fit on a single page: See - Elements are rendered on the active page when they are parsed. - Embedding "raw" SVG's (``) isn't working yet: See Workaround: Either link to an external SVG file, or use a DataURI like this: ``` $html = ''; ``` - Does not support CSS flexbox: See - Does not support CSS Grid: See - A single Dompdf instance should not be used to render more than one HTML document because persisted parsing and rendering artifacts can impact future renders. --- [![Donate button](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/acff8a4af46413276118b9f3b883b373601ac053d9dd5acf8a4e8a944c2538a9/68747470733a2f2f7777772e70617970616c2e636f6d2f656e5f55532f692f62746e2f62746e5f646f6e6174655f534d2e676966)](http://goo.gl/DSvWf) *If you find this project useful, please consider making a donation.
