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.
