------------

[](#installation)

[](#install-wkhtmltopdf)

This was tested on:

- Ubuntu 14.04 x64
- Ubuntu 16.04 x64

```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf
```

[](#for-docker)

```
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install xvfb libfontconfig wkhtmltopdf

```

#### Upddate Composer

[](#upddate-composer)

```

```

If laravel version < 5.5, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

```
NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Html2pdfServiceProvider::class,

```

You can optionally use the facade for shorter code. Add this to your facades:

```
'Pdf'  => NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Facades\Pdf::class,

```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

To create PDF add something like this to one of your controllers.

```
use NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Facades\Pdf;

$document = Pdf::generatePdf('Test');
```

You can also create PDF from directly calling laravel blade file. Suppose you have a mail template named greeting in view/mails folder and want to send parameter then you have to call generatePdf method as described in below

```

$document =  Pdf::generatePdf(view('mails.greeting', ['name' => 'James', 'testVar' => 'demo']));
```

Now If you want to send mail to your client attaching pdf then you can follow this code

```
/**
 * Build the message.
 *
 * @return $this
 */
public function build()
{
    return $this->from('username@gmail.com')
                ->view('mails.demo')
                ->attachData($document, 'Invoice.pdf');
}

```

### Download pdf

[](#download-pdf)

```
use NahidulHasan\Html2pdf\Pdf;

$obj = new Pdf();

$html = ''
    . 'Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '
    . 'templating system.'
    . '';

$invoice = $obj->generatePdf($html);

define('INVOICE_DIR', public_path('uploads/invoices'));

if (!is_dir(INVOICE_DIR)) {
    mkdir(INVOICE_DIR, 0755, true);
}

$outputName = str_random(10);
$pdfPath = INVOICE_DIR.'/'.$outputName.'.pdf';

File::put($pdfPath, $invoice);

$headers = [
    'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf',
    'Content-Disposition' =>  'attachment; filename="'.'filename.pdf'.'"',
];

return response()->download($pdfPath, 'filename.pdf', $headers);

```
