PDF Generation via DOMPDF Library

Maintainer: Jeremy Shipman (jeremy@burnbright.net)

Makes use of: https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf Dompdf websites: http://dompdf.github.com/, http://pxd.me/dompdf/www/

Input:

• HTML string (which could be rendered template)
• HTML File

Output

• PDF File location
• SS File
• PDF binary stream to browser

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
