HTML to PDF Converter for Laravel 5
===================================

[](#html-to-pdf-converter-for-laravel-5)

This is a yet another html to pdf converter for Laravel 5(see Laravel 4 here [cangelis/l4pdf](https://github.com/cangelis/l4pdf)). This package uses [wkhtmltopdf](https://github.com/antialize/wkhtmltopdf) as a third-party tool so `proc_*()` functions has to be enabled in your php configurations and `wkhtmltopdf` tool should be installed in your machine (You can download it from [here](https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list)).

**If you are not a Laravel user, check out [here](https://github.com/wemersonjanuario/php-pdf)**

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

[](#installation)

### Step 1

[](#step-1)

Add this to your `composer.json`

```
{
    "require": {
        "wemersonjanuario/laravelpdf": "1.1.*"
    }
}

```

### Step 2

[](#step-2)

Add this line to `providers` array in your `config/app.php`

```
Novanti\LaravelPDF\PDFServiceProvider::class

```

### Step 3

[](#step-3)

Add this line to `aliases` array in your `config/app.php`

```
'PDF' => Novanti\LaravelPDF\PDFFacade::class,

```

### Step 4

[](#step-4)

Run this command to publish the configurations of this package

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

### Step 5

[](#step-5)

Configure your `wkhtmltopdf` executable path under `config/laravelpdf.php`

```
'executable' => '/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf'

```

Some examples
-------------

[](#some-examples)

```
PDF::loadView('pdf.invoice')->download('invoice.pdf');

PDF::loadURL('http://www.laravel.com')->grayscale()->pageSize('A3')->orientation('Landscape')->stream('laravel.pdf')

Route::get('/', function() {
    return PDF::loadHTML('Hello World')->lowquality()->pageSize('A2')->download();
});

Since 1.0.3 the library supports generating PDF from multiple Laravel views of HTML pieces. Each part begins from a new page. Examples of using this feature:

PDF::loadViews(['pdf.order', 'pdf.invoice', 'pdf.wiretransfer'])->download('payment-bundle.pdf');

$htmlPages[] = getMainReport();
$htmlPages[] = getAdditionalReport();
PDF::loadHTMLs($htmlPages)->download('consolidated-report.pdf');

```

\## Saving the PDF

laravelpdf uses [League\\Flysystem](https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem) to save the file to the local or remote filesystems.

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
$pdfObject->save(string $filename, League\Flysystem\AdapterInterface $adapter, $overwrite)

```

`filename`: the name of the file you want to save with

`adapter`: FlySystem Adapter

`overwrite`: If set to `true` and the file exists it will be overwritten, otherwise an Exception will be thrown.

### Examples

[](#examples)

```
// Save the pdf to the local file system
PDF::loadHTML('Hello World')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'));

// Save to AWS S3
$client = S3Client::factory([
    'key'    => '[your key]',
    'secret' => '[your secret]',
]);
PDF::loadHTML('Hello World')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\AwsS3($client, 'bucket-name', 'optional-prefix'));

// Save to FTP
$ftpConf = [
    'host' => 'ftp.example.com',
    'username' => 'username',
    'password' => 'password',

    /** optional config settings */
    'port' => 21,
    'root' => '/path/to/root',
    'passive' => true,
    'ssl' => true,
    'timeout' => 30,
];
PDF::loadHTML('Hello World')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Ftp($ftpConf));

// Save to the multiple locations and stream it
return PDF::loadHTML('Hello World')
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Ftp($ftpConf))
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\AwsS3($client, 'bucket-name', 'optional-prefix'))
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'))
        ->download();

```
