<?php /** @var \Wucdbm\Bundle\PdfGeneratorBundle\Generator\PdfGenerator $generator */ $generator = $container->get('wucdbm_pdf_generator.generator'); $filename = 'someFile.pdf'; // Get a PdfResult. The wkPrint and bootstrap methods both return a PdfResult /** @var \Wucdbm\Bundle\PdfGeneratorBundle\Generator\PdfResult $result */ $result = $generator->wkPrint($html); // The PdfResult is the result of the PDF generation. It has access to the temporary PDF file $tempPdfPath = $result->realPath(); // return a Symfony Response return $generator->bootstrap($html)->response($filename); // return a Symfony Response and copy the file some place else // The Generator does NOT save the files; it will unlink them as soon as the request is finished // The copy() method returns PrintResult return $generator->bootstrap($html)->copy('/some/location/someFile.pdf')->response($filename); // And last, you can also get the PDF file contents as string $contents = $generator->bootstrap($html)->contents();
