  • PDF binary stream to browser

Installation

###Composer

  • On the command line, cd into your sites root folder
  • Run composer require gdmedia/silverstripe-dompdf
  • Run dev/build?flush=all in your browser

###Manually

Example usage

	$pdf = new SS_DOMPDF();
	$pdf->setHTML($mydataobject->renderWith('MyTemplate'));
	$pdf->render();
	$pdf->toFile('mypdf.pdf');

Debugging

The $pdf->streamdebug(); function is useful for quickly viewing pdfs, particularly if your browser supports displaying pdfs, rather than downloading.

You can check your html before it is converted like this:

	echo $mydataobject->renderWith('MyTemplate');die();
