README
Convert HTML markup into beautiful PDF files using the famous wkhtmltopdf library.
Unfortunately, wkhtmltopdf is based on a very outdated version of WebKit and not really maintained anymore. I've therefore recently launched a new version of this library which is based on Google Chrome. Give it a try!
Features
- Does not require any complex installation or configuration, works out of the box
- Offers all features of wkhtmltopdf
- Possibility to get the HTML from an external URL
- Possibility to download, embed or save the generated PDF files (or even get their contents as a string)
- Supports PHP7
Requirements
- PHP 5.5+
- Enabled program execution functions (proc_open)
- Enabled 'fopen' wrappers (in order to use the URL to PDF functionality)
- Unix based operating system (Windows support
willmay be added in the future)
Installation
HtmlToPdf can be installed via Composer by requiring the
spiritix/html-to-pdf
package in your project's composer.json
.
php composer.phar require spiritix/html-to-pdf
Usage
The usage of this library is pretty simple. You just need a converter instance, pass an input and an output handler to it and set some options if you like. After running the conversion, the converter will provide you with the output handler instance. Now you may use it's specific functionality to get your PDF file.
use Spiritix\HtmlToPdf\Converter; use Spiritix\HtmlToPdf\Input\UrlInput; use Spiritix\HtmlToPdf\Output\DownloadOutput; $input = new UrlInput(); $input->setUrl('https://www.google.com'); $converter = new Converter($input, new DownloadOutput()); $converter->setOption('n'); $converter->setOption('d', '300'); $converter->setOptions([ 'no-background', 'margin-bottom' => '100', 'margin-top' => '100', ]); $output = $converter->convert(); $output->download();
Input handlers
The following input handlers are available:
- StringInput - Accepts the HTML contents as a string
- UrlInput - Fetch the HTML contents from an URL
Output handlers
The following output handlers are available:
- StringOutput - Get the PDF contents as a string
- FileOutput - Store the PDF to your file system
