Laravel ArPDF

A Laravel package for generating PDF files with full Arabic and English support, including UTF-8, RTL, and custom font integration, using the powerful mPDF engine — all without relying on external services.

🚀 Features

✔️ Fully supports Arabic, RTL, UTF-8, and mixed languages
✔️ Clean & simple Laravel-style API
✔️ Includes Facade + Auto-Discovery
✔️ Works with Laravel 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
✔️ Supports custom Arabic fonts (Cairo, Amiri, etc.)
✔️ High-quality rendering powered by mPDF
✔️ Save, download, or stream PDFs from your controller

📦 Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require baidouabdellah/laravel-arpdf

✔ Laravel 8+

No configuration is required — Laravel automatically discovers the package.

✔ For Laravel < 8 (Manual Registration)

Add the service provider to config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    Baidouabdellah\LaravelArpdf\ArPDFServiceProvider::class,
],

Publish Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Baidouabdellah\LaravelArpdf\ArPDFServiceProvider"

This allows customizing fonts, default direction (RTL/LTR), and mPDF settings.

🧪 Usage Example

Controller Demo

use Baidouabdellah\LaravelArpdf\Facades\ArPDF;


  public function generatePdf()
    {
        return ArPDF::loadView('arpdf-test', [
            'title'   => 'اللغة الرعبية هي العنوان',
            'message' => 'نمودجي لنص عربي من اليمين الى اليسار',
        ])->stream('view-test.pdf');
    }

📄 Blade View Example

Create a view such as:

resources/views/pdf/invoice.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ar" dir="rtl">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <style>
        body {
            font-family: 'cairo';
            direction: rtl;
            text-align: right;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>{{ $title }}</h1>
    <p>مرحبا بك في نظام الفواتير.</p>
</body>
</html>

Render and export:

$html = view('pdf.invoice', [
    'title' => 'فاتورة رقم 123'
])->render();

return ArPDF::loadHTML($html)->download('invoice-123.pdf');

🔤 Custom Arabic Fonts

mPDF supports custom fonts such as Cairo, Amiri, Scheherazade, etc.

To use your own fonts:

Place fonts inside a folder, e.g.:
resources/fonts/
Register them inside ArPDF.php (font bootstrap section)
Use them in CSS:

body {
    font-family: 'cairo';
}
