SGLMS PDF
=========

[](#sglms-pdf)

Simple Laravel wrapper around mPDF with a fluent API for rendering Blade views, attaching headers/footers, and signing documents.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.3
- Laravel 12
- mPDF 8.2+

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require sglms/pdf
```

Laravel package discovery registers the service provider and facade automatically.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Sglms\Pdf\Facades\Pdf;

Pdf::view('pdf.invoice', ['order' => $order])->output('invoice.pdf');
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Initialize with configuration

[](#initialize-with-configuration)

```
use Sglms\Pdf\Facades\Pdf;

$pdf = Pdf::init(
	config: ['format' => 'Letter'],
	stylesheet: 'css/pdf.css',
	header: 'pdf.header',
	footer: 'pdf.footer'
);
```

### Render one or multiple views

[](#render-one-or-multiple-views)

```
$pdf->view('pdf.page-one', ['name' => 'Jane'])
	->view('pdf.page-two')
	->output('document.pdf');
```

### Add logo for header/footer views

[](#add-logo-for-headerfooter-views)

The logo is available in mPDF templates as `var:logo`.

```
$pdf->logo('images/logo.svg');
```

If your header or footer uses the logo, call `logo()` before `header()` / `footer()`.

### Add signature block

[](#add-signature-block)

```
$pdf->sign(
	signature: 'pdf.signature',
	data: ['name' => 'John Doe'],
	x: 50,
	y: 100,
	width: 100
);
```

### Sign existing PDF

[](#sign-existing-pdf)

```
$pdf->signFile('pdf.signature', storage_path('app/base.pdf'));
```

### Output options

[](#output-options)

```
// Raw string — pass to Laravel's response() helper
$raw = $pdf->output('document.pdf');
$raw = $pdf->string();                   // alias, no filename context

// Write to an absolute file path
$pdf->save(storage_path('app/a.pdf'));

// Laravel Storage disk
$pdf->storeAs('a.pdf', 'public');

// Stream directly to the browser (bypasses Laravel response)
$pdf->inline('document.pdf');            // Content-Disposition: inline
$pdf->download('document.pdf');          // Content-Disposition: attachment
```

### Access underlying mPDF instance

[](#access-underlying-mpdf-instance)

```
$mpdf = $pdf->get();
```

Controller Example
------------------

[](#controller-example)

```
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Sglms\Pdf\Facades\Pdf;

class CustomController extends Controller
{
	public function render()
	{
		$bytes = Pdf::view('pdf.filename')
			->sign('pdf.signature')
			->output('document.pdf');

		return response($bytes, 200)
			->header('Content-Type', 'application/pdf')
			->header('Content-Disposition', 'inline; filename="document.pdf"');
	}
}
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- mPDF applies headers/footers from the point they are set. Set header/footer before the first rendered body view when possible.
- This package is intentionally lightweight and optimized for straightforward document-generation workflows.
