README
This module provides PDF generation through the dompdf library for Silverstripe 3.
This is a fork of:
Input:
- HTML string (which could be a rendered template)
- HTML File
Output
- PDF file location
- SS file
- PDF binary stream to browser
Installation (with composer)
$ composer require 3dgoo/silverstripe-dompdf
Example usage
$pdf = new SS_DOMPDF(); $pdf->setHTML($mydataobject->renderWith('MyTemplate')); $pdf->render(); $pdf->toFile('mypdf.pdf');
Debugging
The $pdf->streamdebug(); function is useful for quickly viewing pdfs, particularly if your browser supports displaying pdfs, rather than downloading.
You can check your html before it is converted like this:
echo $mydataobject->renderWith('MyTemplate'); die();
Useful Tips
- Use tables for layout if you get errors from floating divs.
- See the official dompdf website for more info
