Generate pretty PDF invoices in PHP

What is this?
-------------

[](#what-is-this)

Faktura in polish means invoice and this library is created to render pretty invoices in PHP.

Faktura is a simple standalone PHP library for rendering PDF invoices in PHP. You can easily integrate it into your own project using standard tools like composer. Currently, Faktura depends on *xvfb* and *wkhtmltopdf* to create PDF files. Faktura has builtin rendering based on native PHP templates that can be customized with plugin functions.

Sample PDF invoice: [https://github.com/loskoderos/faktura-php/blob/master/examples/simple\_invoice\_pl.pdf](https://github.com/loskoderos/faktura-php/blob/master/examples/simple_invoice_pl.pdf)[![sample](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loskoderos/faktura-php/master/examples/screenshot1.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loskoderos/faktura-php/master/examples/screenshot1.png)
