1. Introduction MPDF is a powerful PHP library that generates PDF files from HTML content. It uses the Unicode and HTML rendering engine to convert HTML with CSS styles into a PDF document. The "MPDF download" process refers to generating and forcing a PDF file to be downloaded by the user's browser rather than displayed or saved on the server. // Create download
generateAndDownloadPDF($html, 'invoice_' . date('Ymd') . '.pdf'); <?php function savePDFAndGetLink($htmlContent, $filename) $mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf(); $mpdf->WriteHTML($htmlContent); // Save to server (F mode) $savePath = __DIR__ . '/uploads/pdfs/' . $filename; $mpdf->Output($savePath, 'F'); basename($file)
// Create MPDF instance $mpdf = new Mpdf();
function generateAndDownloadPDF($htmlContent, $filename = 'document.pdf') try // Configuration $config = [ 'mode' => 'utf-8', 'format' => 'A4', 'orientation' => 'P', // Portrait 'margin_left' => 15, 'margin_right' => 15, 'margin_top' => 16, 'margin_bottom' => 16, 'margin_header' => 9, 'margin_footer' => 9, 'default_font_size' => 10, 'default_font' => 'dejavusans', 'auto_language_detection' => true, ];
