README

Convert HTML and CSS into PDF documents on top of phppdf/phppdf.

Requirements

• PHP 8.4+
• ext-dom
• ext-libxml

Installation

composer require phppdf/html-converter

Documentation

The documentation can be found here: https://phppdf.github.io/html-converter/

Quick start

use PhpPdf\Html\HtmlConverter;
use PhpPdf\Output\PdfMemoryOutput;
use PhpPdf\Serialization\PdfDocumentSerializer;

$html = '<h1>Hello World</h1><p>Welcome to the PDF.</p>';

$document = HtmlConverter::fromHtml($html)->build();

$output = new PdfMemoryOutput();
(new PdfDocumentSerializer($output))->writeDocument($document);

header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
echo $output->getContent();

Because HtmlConverter::fromHtml() returns a plain PdfDocumentBuilder, you can prepend or append pages, add metadata/encryption/signatures, and apply compression before serialising.
