The package can convert a webpage to a pdf. The conversion is done behind the scenes by [Puppeteer](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer) which controls a headless version of Google Chrome.

Originally base on [spatie/browsershot](https://github.com/spatie/browsershot).

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require "web-chefs/puppeteer-to-pdf"

```

Why Fork
--------

[](#why-fork)

WebChefs current tries where possible to support PHP 5.6 and [spatie/browsershot](https://github.com/spatie/browsershot) requires PHP 7.0 and above.

[spatie/browsershot](https://github.com/spatie/browsershot) supports a lot of image screen shot functionality that adds a lot of extra PHP 7.0 dependencies.

So to meet our requirements of generating a PDF running on PHP 5.6 required that we strip out any PHP 7.0 specific functionality this meant removing screen shot image functionality.
