Laravel Dompdf
A DOMPDF Wrapper for Laravel
#DOMPDF Wrapper for Laravel
#Laravel wrapper for Dompdf HTML to PDF Converter
#Installation
#Laravel
Require this package in your composer.json and update composer. This will download the package and the dompdf + fontlib libraries also.
composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf
#Lumen
After updating composer add the following lines to register provider in bootstrap/app.php
$app->register(\Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class);
To change the configuration, copy the config file to your config folder and enable it in bootstrap/app.php:
$app->configure('dompdf');
#Using
You can create a new DOMPDF instance and load a HTML string, file or view name. You can save it to a file, or stream (show in browser) or download.
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf; $pdf = Pdf::loadView('pdf.invoice', $data); return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');
or use the App container:
$pdf = App::make('dompdf.wrapper'); $pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>'); return $pdf->stream();
Or use the facade:
You can chain the methods:
return Pdf::loadFile(public_path().'/myfile.html')->save('/path-to/my_stored_file.pdf')->stream('download.pdf');
You can change the orientation and paper size, and hide or show errors (by default, errors are shown when debug is on)
Pdf::loadHTML($html)->setPaper('a4', 'landscape')->setWarnings(false)->save('myfile.pdf')
If you need the output as a string, you can get the rendered PDF with the output() function, so you can save/output it yourself.
Use php artisan vendor:publish to create a config file located at config/dompdf.php which will allow you to define local configurations to change some settings (default paper etc).
You can also use your ConfigProvider to set certain keys.
#Configuration
The defaults configuration settings are set in config/dompdf.php. Copy this file to your own config directory to modify the values. You can publish the config using this command:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider"
You can still alter the dompdf options in your code before generating the pdf using this command:
Pdf::setOption(['dpi' => 150, 'defaultFont' => 'sans-serif']);

#PDF/A-3b Support
Requires dompdf >= 3.1.0 and the CPDF backend (default).
You can generate PDF/A-3b compliant PDFs for archival purposes. Enable it globally via config or per-PDF at runtime.
Global (config/dompdf.php):
'pdfa' => [ 'enabled' => true, ],
Per-PDF at runtime:
$pdf = Pdf::loadView('invoice', $data) ->setPdfA() ->download('invoice.pdf');
Important: PDF/A requires all fonts to be embedded. Core PDF fonts (Helvetica, Courier, Times) are not embedded and will cause validation failures. Use fonts like DejaVu Sans or DejaVu Serif instead.
#Zugferd / Factur-X (embedded XML invoices)
For PDF/A-3b with embedded XML attachments (e.g. Zugferd/Factur-X electronic invoicing), you can use addEmbeddedFile() and setAdditionalXmpRdf():
$pdf = Pdf::loadView('invoice', $data)->setPdfA(); // Add XMP metadata for Factur-X $pdf->setAdditionalXmpRdf( '<rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:fx="urn:factur-x:pdfa:CrossIndustryDocument:invoice:1p0#"> <fx:DocumentType>INVOICE</fx:DocumentType> <fx:DocumentFileName>factur-x.xml</fx:DocumentFileName> <fx:Version>1.0</fx:Version> <fx:ConformanceLevel>BASIC</fx:ConformanceLevel> </rdf:Description>' ); // Embed the XML invoice $pdf->addEmbeddedFile( storage_path('invoices/factur-x.xml'), 'factur-x.xml', 'Factur-X Invoice', 'text/xml' ); return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');
#Tip: UTF-8 support
In your templates, set the UTF-8 Metatag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
#Tip: Page breaks
You can use the CSS page-break-before/page-break-after properties to create a new page.
<style>
.page-break {
page-break-after: always;
}
</style>
<h1>Page 1</h1>
<div class="page-break"></div>
<h1>Page 2</h1>
