Documentation

DOMPDF Wrapper for Laravel 5.*

Installation

Laravel 5.x:

You can install the package for your Laravel 5 project through Composer.

$ composer require seguce92/laravel-dompdf

Register the service provider array in app/config/app.php.

Seguce92\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class,

You can optionally use the facade for shorter code. Add this to your facades:

'PDF' => Seguce92\DomPDF\Facade::class,

Lumen:

After updating composer add the following lines to register provider in bootstrap/app.php

$app->register(\Seguce92\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class);

To change the configuration, copy the config file to your config folder and enable it in bootstrap/app.php:

$app->configure('dompdf');

Using

You can create a new DOMPDF instance and load a HTML string, file or view name. You can save it to a file, or stream (show in browser) or download.

$pdf = App::make('dompdf.wrapper');
$pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>');
return $pdf->stream();

Or use the facade:

$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.invoice', $data);
return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');

You can chain the methods:

return PDF::loadFile(public_path().'/myfile.html')->save('/path-to/my_stored_file.pdf')->stream('download.pdf');

You can change the orientation and paper size, and hide or show errors (by default, errors are shown when debug is on)

PDF::loadHTML($html)->setPaper('a4')->setOrientation('landscape')->setWarnings(false)->save('myfile.pdf')

You can add watermarks of type image and text

```php
$pdf = App::make('dompdf.wrapper');
$pdf->setWatermarkImage('path/to/image.png');
$pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>');
return $pdf->stream();
```

NOTE: enable "DOMPDF_ENABLE_FONTSUBSETTING" => true, in app/config/dompdf.php for correct operation of setWatermarkText [size change]

```php
$pdf = App::make('dompdf.wrapper');
$pdf->setWatermarkText('example', '150px');
$pdf->loadHTML('<html><head><title>Hello world</title><body><h1>example</h1></body></html>');
return $pdf->stream();
```

Methods property

  • setWatermarkImage

    $pdf->setWatermarkImage($image, $opacity = 0.6, $top = '30%', $width = '100%', $height = '100%');
    $image = path to image file *.png, *.jpeg, ect
    $opacity = values accept 1.0 - 0.11111
    $top = margin respect to top page
    $with = size image width
    $height = size image height
  • setWatermarkText

    $pdf->setWatermarkText($text, $size = '100px', $opacity = 0.6, $rotate = '10deg', $top = '30%')
    $text = text a view with watermark
    $size = font size
    $opacity = values accept 1.0 - 0.11111
    $rotate = rotation text in deg values  (css transform-rotate
    $top = margin respect to top page

If you need the output as a string, you can get the rendered PDF with the output() function, so you can save/output it yourself.

Use php artisan vendor:publish to create a config file located at config/dompdf.php which will allow you to define local configurations to change some settings (default paper etc). You can also use your ConfigProvider to set certain keys.

Tip: UTF-8 support

In your templates, set the UTF-8 Metatag:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

Tip: Page breaks

You can use the CSS page-break-before/page-break-after properties to create a new page.

<style>
.page-break {
    page-break-after: always;
}
</style>
<h1>Page 1</h1>
<div class="page-break"></div>
<h1>Page 2</h1>
