### Documentation

[](#documentation)

#### Create Response object

[](#create-response-object)

This example creates a PDF document from HTML code with default options (font, font size, margins, orientation):

```
$mpdfService = $this->get('vel.mpdf');
$html = 'Hello world';
$respose = $mpdfService->generatePDFResponseFromHTML($html);

```

#### Generate PDF content and store into a string variable

[](#generate-pdf-content-and-store-into-a-string-variable)

```
$mpdfService = $this->get('vel.mpdf');
$html = 'Hello world';
$content = $mpdfService->generatePDF($html);

```

#### Use different options to generate a PDF document with text header and HTML footer

[](#use-different-options-to-generate-a-pdf-document-with-text-header-and-html-footer)

```
$mpdfService = $this->get('vel.mpdf');
$mpdfService->createMpdfInstance(
        $format = 'A4',
        $fontSize = 0, //default
        $fontFamily = '', //default
        $marginLeft = 15,
        $marginRight = 15,
        $marginTop = 16,
        $marginBottom = 16,
        $marginHeader = 9,
        $marginFooter = 9,
        $orientation = 'P' // P for portrait, L for landscape
      );
$mpdfService->getMpdf()->setHeader('Text header');
$mpdfService->getMpdf()->setHTMLFooter('Footer text');
$html = 'Hello world';
$mpdfService->generatePDFResponseFromHTML($html)

```

By default the bundle add 'utf-8' to mPDF constructor class.

#### Get an instance of \\mPDF class

[](#get-an-instance-of-mpdf-class)

If you would like to work with mPDF class itself, you can use a getMpdf method:

```
$mpdfService = $this->get('vel.mpdf');
$mPDF = $mpdfService->getMpdf();

```
