### Installation Guide

[](#installation-guide)

Require this package in your `composer.json` or install it by running:

```
composer require zanysoft/laravel-pdf

```

To start using Laravel, add the Service Provider and the Facade to your `config/app.php`:

```
'providers' => [
	// ...
	ZanySoft\LaravelPDF\PdfServiceProvider::class
]
```

```
'aliases' => [
	// ...
	'PDF' => ZanySoft\LaravelPDF\Facades\PDF::class
]
```

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

The defaults configuration settings are set in `config/pdf.php`. Copy this file to your own config directory to modify the values. You can publish the config using this command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ZanySoft\LaravelPDF\PdfServiceProvider"

```

### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

To use Laravel PDF add something like this to one of your controllers. You can pass data to a view in `/resources/views`.

```
    use ZanySoft\LaravelPDF\Facades\PDF;

    $data = ['foo' => 'bar'];
    $pdf = PDF::make('document.pdf');
    $pdf->loadView('pdf.document', $data);

    return $pdf->stream();
```

or

```
    use ZanySoft\LaravelPDF\PDF;

    $pdf = new PDF();
    $pdf->loadView('pdf.document', $data);

    return $pdf->stream('document.pdf');
```

If you want to generate from html content:

```
    $content = "Hello this is first pdf file."
    $pdf->loadHTML($content);

    return $pdf->stream('document.pdf');
```

If you want to generate from files:

```
    $file = "file.txt"
    $pdf->loadFile($file);

    return $pdf->stream('document.pdf');
```

If you want download pdf file:

```
    return $pdf->embed('document.pdf');
```

If you want to save pdf to server:

```
    return $pdf->save('with-complete-path/document.pdf');
```

If you want add pdf file as attachment to email:

```
    return $pdf->embed('document.pdf');
```

### Headers and Footers

[](#headers-and-footers)

If you want to have headers and footers that appear on every page, add them to your `` tag like this:

```

    Your Header Content

    Your Footer Content

```

Now you just need to define them with the name attribute in your CSS:

```
@page {
    header: page-header;
    footer: page-footer;
}
```

Inside of headers and footers `{PAGENO}` can be used to display the page number.

### Included Fonts

[](#included-fonts)

By default you can use all the fonts [shipped with mPDF](https://mpdf.github.io/fonts-languages/available-fonts-v6.html).

### Custom Fonts

[](#custom-fonts)

You can use your own fonts in the generated PDFs. The TTF files have to be located in one folder, e.g. `/resources/fonts/`. Add this to your configuration file (`/config/pdf.php`):

```
    return [
        'custom_font_path' => base_path('/resources/fonts/'), // don't forget the trailing slash!
    ];
```

And then:

```
    $fontdata = array(
        'examplefont' => [
            'R' => 'ExampleFont-Regular.ttf',      // regular font
            'B' => 'ExampleFont-Bold.ttf',         // optional: bold font
            'I' => 'ExampleFont-Italic.ttf',       // optional: italic font
            'BI' => 'ExampleFont-Bold-Italic.ttf', // optional: bold-italic font
        ]
        // ...add as many as you want.
    );

    $pdf->addCustomFont($fontdata, true);
    // If your font file is unicode and "OpenType Layout" then set true. Default value is false.
```

Now you can use the font in CSS:

```
body {
    font-family: 'examplefont', sans-serif;
}
```

### Set Protection

[](#set-protection)

To set protection, you just call the `SetProtection()` method and pass an array with permissions, an user password and an owner password.

The passwords are optional.

There are a few permissions: `'copy'`, `'print'`, `'modify'`, `'annot-forms'`, `'fill-forms'`, `'extract'`, `'assemble'`, `'print-highres'`.

```
use PDF;

function generate_pdf() {
    $data = [
        'foo' => 'bar'
    ];
    $pdf = PDF::make();
    $pdf->SetProtection(['copy', 'print'], 'user_pass', 'owner_pass')
    $pdf->loadView('pdf.document', $data);

    return $pdf->stream('document.pdf');
}
```
