    ->html('<h1>Test</h1>') // supply HTML directly
    ->pdf() // render PDF
    ->raw(); // fetch raw PDF
    
// Return a streamed PDF response to the browser
return TailPdf::defaultTailwindConfigFile()
    ->html('<h1>Test</h1>')
    ->pdf()
    ->stream(); // stream can be returned from Laravel controller
    
// Return a streamed PDF download
return TailPdf::defaultTailwindConfigFile()
    ->html('<h1>Test</h1>')
    ->pdf()
    ->download('test.pdf');

// Save a PDF to disk
TailPdf::defaultTailwindConfigFile()
    ->html('<h1>Test</h1>')
    ->pdf()
    ->save('test.pdf');

// Render PDF from Laravel view
TailPdf::defaultTailwindConfigFile()
    ->view('my-view', [
        'var' => 'value',
    ])
    ->pdf()
    ->save('test.pdf');

// Render PDF asyncronously and upload to bucket (see https://tailpdf.com/docs/async-jobs/)
TailPdf::defaultTailwindConfigFile()
    ->html('<h1>Test</h1>')
    ->async(
        $bucketUrl, // Writeable bucket URL from AWS S3 / Cloudflare R2 / GCP Cloud Storage API
        $webhookUrl // URL where you receive status updates
    )
    ->pdf();

$status = TailPdf::pollStatus(); // Check status manually
