Converting Html To Pdf Via Php (install Font For Html2pdf)

I'm currently attempting to convert HTML markup (from an xml feed) into a PDF dynamically via a PHP script. From reading other answers the best free way of doing this seemed to be

Solution 1:

Yes, you should use DOMPDF instead of other libraries. There are lots of fonts available. You can see at "dompdf/lib/fonts/dompdf_font_family_cache.dist.php" and choose according to your requirements. For change the font you need to change the def("DOMPDF_DEFAULT_FONT", "serif") at file path "dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php":

You can download the latest version available of DOMPDF from: https://code.google.com/p/dompdf/downloads/detail?name=dompdf_0-6-0_beta3.tar.gz&can=2&q=

See the below example:

require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($htmlContent);
$dompdf->render();                

$fileName = "invoice.pdf";
$dompdf->stream($fileName);//DOWNLOAD PDF //GET OUTPUT AS STRING AND PUT IN TO SOME FILE   $output = $dompdf->output();
file_put_contents($fileName, $output);

Solution 2:

Try to use DomPdf instead of html2pdf. It works great for me on creating invoices in PDF. But some treatments (positioning and font sizes) in your CSS code are needed. The screen content placed as it is didn't work as i expected. https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf

Solution 3:

It's a bit of a hack, but I found the best way for me was to call capturejs using exec:

$run = "capturejs -u ";
$run .= "https://www.example.com/";
$run .= " -p tlsv1 -V ";
$run .= "1024x768";
$run .= " -o 'myimage.png'";
exec($run);
