}

A Quick Start guide
===================

[](#a-quick-start-guide)

### How to create a Response object

[](#how-to-create-a-response-object)

This small example creates a PDF document with format A4 and portrait orientation:

```
$mpdfService = $this->get('tfox.mpdfport');
$html = "Hello World!";
$response = $mpdfService->generatePdfResponse($html);

```

### Generate a variable with PDF content

[](#generate-a-variable-with-pdf-content)

Sometimes it is necessary to get a variabe which content is PDF document. Obviously, you might generate a response from the previous example and then call a method:

```
$response->getContent()

```

But there is a shorter way to get a raw content:

```
$mpdfService = $this->get('tfox.mpdfport');
$html = "Hello World!";
$content = $mpdfService->generatePdf($html);

```

### How to get an instance of \\mPDF class

[](#how-to-get-an-instance-of-mpdf-class)

If you would like to work with mPDF class itself, you can use a getMpdf method:

```
$mpdfService = $this->get('tfox.mpdfport');
$mPDF = $mpdfService->getMpdf();

```

Warning
=======

[](#warning)

- By default the bundle adds the two attributes 'utf-8' and 'A4' to the mPDF class constructor. To turn off these options, use the `setAddDefaultConstructorArgs` method:

```
$mpdfService->setAddDefaultConstructorArgs(false);

```

- As the bundle inserts the first two arguments to the mPDF constructor by default, additional constructor arguments should start from the 3rd argument (default\_font\_size).
- If the `setAddDefaultConstructorArgs(false)` method is called, additional arguments for constructor should start from the first one (mode).

Additional arguments
====================

[](#additional-arguments)

As the bundle uses methods of mPDF class, some additional parameters can be added to these methods. There are 3 mPDF methods used in the bundle:

- Constructor. Documentation:
- WriteHTML. Documentation:
- Output. Documentation:

To pass additional arguments, an array with arguments should be created:

```
$arguments = array(
	'constructorArgs' => array(), //Constructor arguments. Numeric array. Don't forget about points 2 and 3 in Warning section!
	'writeHtmlMode' => null, //$mode argument for WriteHTML method
	'writeHtmlInitialise' => null, //$mode argument for WriteHTML method
	'writeHtmlClose' => null, //$close argument for WriteHTML method
	'outputFilename' => null, //$filename argument for Output method
	'outputDest' => null //$dest argument for Output method
);

```

It is NOT necessary to have all the keys in array. This array might be passed to the `generatePdf` and `generatePdfResponse` methods as the second argument:

```
$mpdfService->generatePdf($html, $arguments);
$mpdfService->generatePdfResponse($html, $arguments);

```
