Documentation

Create Response object

This example creates a PDF document from HTML code with default options (font, font size, margins, orientation):

$mpdfService = $this->get('vel.mpdf');
$html = '<h2>Hello world</h2>';
$respose = $mpdfService->generatePDFResponseFromHTML($html);

Generate PDF content and store into a string variable

$mpdfService = $this->get('vel.mpdf');
$html = '<h2>Hello world</h2>';
$content = $mpdfService->generatePDF($html);

Use different options to generate a PDF document with text header and HTML footer

$mpdfService = $this->get('vel.mpdf');
$mpdfService->createMpdfInstance(
        $format = 'A4',
        $fontSize = 0, //default
        $fontFamily = '', //default
        $marginLeft = 15,
        $marginRight = 15,
        $marginTop = 16,
        $marginBottom = 16,
        $marginHeader = 9,
        $marginFooter = 9,
        $orientation = 'P' // P for portrait, L for landscape
      );
$mpdfService->getMpdf()->setHeader('Text header');
$mpdfService->getMpdf()->setHTMLFooter('<h6>Footer text</h6>');
$html = '<h2>Hello world</h2>';
$mpdfService->generatePDFResponseFromHTML($html)

By default the bundle add 'utf-8' to mPDF constructor class.

Get an instance of \mPDF class

If you would like to work with mPDF class itself, you can use a getMpdf method:

$mpdfService = $this->get('vel.mpdf');
$mPDF = $mpdfService->getMpdf();
