This package provides a simple way to create PDFs in Laravel apps. It supports multiple drivers: [Browsershot](https://spatie.be/docs/browsershot) (Chromium), [Gotenberg](https://gotenberg.dev) (Docker-based), [Cloudflare Browser Rendering](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/), [WeasyPrint](https://doc.courtbouillon.org/weasyprint/stable/) (Python-based), and [DOMPDF](https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf) (pure PHP). You can use modern CSS features like grid and flexbox with the Chromium-based drivers, use WeasyPrint for excellent CSS Paged Media support, or choose DOMPDF for a zero-dependency setup.

Here's a quick example:

```
use Spatie\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf;

Pdf::view('pdfs.invoice', ['invoice' => $invoice])
    ->format('a4')
    ->save('invoice.pdf')
```

This will render the Blade view `pdfs.invoice` with the given data and save it as a PDF file.

You can also return the PDF as a response from your controller:

```
use Spatie\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf;

class DownloadInvoiceController
{
    public function __invoke(Invoice $invoice)
    {
        return Pdf::view('pdfs.invoice', ['invoice' => $invoice])
            ->format('a4')
            ->name('your-invoice.pdf');
    }
}
```

You can use also test your PDFs:

```
use Spatie\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf;

it('can render an invoice', function () {
    Pdf::fake();

    $invoice = Invoice::factory()->create();

    $this->get(route('download-invoice', $invoice))
        ->assertOk();

    Pdf::assertRespondedWithPdf(function (PdfBuilder $pdf) {
        return $pdf->contains('test');
    });
});
```

Laravel Boost
-------------

[](#laravel-boost)

This package ships with a [Laravel Boost](https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/boost) skill. After installing the package, run `php artisan boost:install` to register the skill. This will help AI agents in your project generate correct PDF code.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

All documentation is available [on our documentation site](https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-pdf).

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

For running the testsuite, you'll need to have Puppeteer installed. Pleaser refer to the Browsershot requirements [here](https://spatie.be/docs/browsershot/v4/requirements). Usually `npm -g i puppeteer` will do the trick.

Additionally, you'll need the `pdftotext` CLI which is part of the poppler-utils package. More info can be found in in the [spatie/pdf-to-text readme](https://github.com/spatie/pdf-to-text?tab=readme-ov-file#requirements). Usually `brew install poppler-utils` will suffice.

Finally run the tests with:

```
composer test
```
