**ChromePDF is an very simple Chrome PDF wrapper, written in PHP**

This library is inspired by [DomPDF](https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf), attempting to retain most of the applicable syntax that it uses, while reducing the amount of effort needed in development. It also aims to reduce the external dependency that comes along with using other (excellent) libraries like PuPHPeteer and chrome-php/chrome.
