'Pdf' => Himelali\PdfGenerator\Facades\Pdf::class, ], ``` #### The service provider will register the PDF manager and allow you to publish the config file using: [](#the-service-provider-will-register-the-pdf-manager-and-allow-you-to-publish-the-config-file-using) ``` php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config ``` This will publish `config/pdf-generator.php`. Example configuration: ``` return [ 'default' => env('PDF_DRIVER', 'dompdf'), 'drivers' => [ 'dompdf' => [ 'options' => [ 'is_html5_parser_enabled' => true, 'is_php_enabled' => true, ], ], 'snappy' => [ 'binary' => env('SNAPPY_PDF_BINARY', '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf'), 'options' => [ 'page-size' => 'A4', 'margin-top' => '10mm', 'margin-bottom' => '10mm', 'footer-left' => 'Your Company Name', 'footer-center' => '[page]', 'footer-right' => 'Confidential', ], ], 'mpdf' => [ 'format' => 'A4', 'orientation' => 'P', 'margin_top' => 10, 'margin_bottom' => 10, 'margin_left' => 10, 'margin_right' => 10, 'temp_dir' => storage_path('app/mpdf/temp'), 'font_dir' => storage_path('app/pdf/fonts'), ], 'fpdf' => [ 'orientation' => 'P', 'unit' => 'mm', 'format' => 'A4', 'font_dir' => storage_path('app/pdf/fonts'), ], ], ]; ``` 🧩 Supported Drivers ------------------- [](#-supported-drivers) DriverPackage DependencyBinary Requireddompdf`dompdf/dompdf`❌snappy`knplabs/knp-snappy` + `wkhtmltopdf` binary [link](https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy)✅mpdf`mpdf/mpdf`❌fpdf`setasign/fpdf`❌Install the required dependencies based on your driver. ``` use Pdf; $html = 'Hello PDF'; Pdf::loadHtml($html)->download('hello.pdf'); ``` ``` Pdf::setPageSize('A4') ->setMargins(10, 15, 10, 15) ->setHeader('Header HTML') ->setFooter('Footer HTML') ->loadHtml('With Headers and Margins') ->download('report.pdf'); ``` 📂 Available Methods ------------------- [](#-available-methods) MethodDescription`setPageSize()`Set paper size (e.g., A4, Letter)`setMargins()`Set page margins (top, right, bottom, left)`setHeader()`Set HTML for header`setFooter()`Set HTML for footer`setFooterText()`Set simple text footer (fallback)`setPageNumbers()`Enable or disable page numbers`setFonts()`Load custom fonts`loadHtml()`Load HTML content`download()`Download the PDF`stream()`Stream the PDF in browser``` Pdf::extend('custom', \App\Pdf\CustomPdfDriver::class); Pdf::driver('custom')->loadHtml('Custom Driver')->download(); ``` ❗Exceptions ----------- [](#exceptions) Exception ClassWhen it’s Thrown`BinaryNotFoundException`[wkhtmltopdf](https://wkhtmltopdf.org/) binary missing (Snappy only)`InvalidDriverException`Driver not found in config or map`PdfGenerationException`General rendering failure`RenderException`Library-specific render issues✅ Requirements -------------- [](#-requirements) - Laravel 6+ - PHP 7.1 or higher - At least one supported PDF library installed ([dompdf](https://dompdf.github.io), [mpdf](https://mpdf.github.io), [knplabs/knp-snappy](https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy), or [setasign/fpdf](https://www.fpdf.org/)) License ------- [](#license) This package is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](LICENSE.txt).
