dompdf | HTML to PDF converter for PHP | Document Editor library

Since URLs can point anywhere and that is not how pdfs are supposed to work, you have to embed your whole image by encoding it as base64

like this example here https://stackoverflow.com/a/8499716/5956589

I finally found a solution to fix this issue. I'm sure this is not the most elegant way to do it but.. it works.

Here what I have done :

• I change the custom extension action class

$dompdf->stream(); outputs to browser so if you don't want that happening remove that line.

$dompdf->output(); creates the PDF as a string so you could save it as a file:

Laravel 9 requires PHP 8.

1. Delete the ^7.3| in composer.json at the line PHPThe correct syntax is: "php": "^8.0"

2. Delete the v in composer.json at the line laravel/framework, The correct syntax is: "laravel/framework": "^9.0",

3. And check the package's artesaos/seotools compatibility with the Laravel 9

Try reinstalling the packages. remove all and install them again

Bootstrap's Grid system relies on flexbox which was introduced in CSS3. Dompdf only supports CSS 2.1. From the readme:

dompdf is (mostly) a CSS 2.1 compliant HTML layout and rendering engine

You'll need to ensure your HTML does not rely on flexbox, so in this case you'd probably need to change to using more

Alternatively, you can remove Dompdf and change over to a modern PDF library such as Browsershot.

Browsershot is built on Puppeteer, which is a headless version of Chrome, therefore you'll have full CSS support, including flexbox so you can continue to use the full power of Boostrap's grid layout.

From personal experience, I've found Browsershot much more reliable than using Laravel Dompdf or Laravel Snappy (which uses wkhtmltopdf) for generating PDFs.

TinyButStrong is a Template Engine that works with any text template. So it fits well to merge HTML pages, and it has some facilities for that. TBS can also merge XML files for example.

Meanwhile, OpenTBS is a plug-in for TinyButStrong that makes it merge Ms Office and LibreOffice documents. Ms Office and LibreOffice documents are technically Zip archives containing XML subfiles. Without OpenTBS, the TinyButStrong template engine cannot merge such documents.

So if you ant to merge HTML pages in order to convert them into PDF using Dompdf, then TinyButStrong (without the OpenTBS plug-in) can do that without problem.

See examples https://www.tinybutstrong.com/examples.php

you can do so.

There's a lot going on here, but I'll do my best to answer. I'm assuming your using the current release.

First, the Canvas object. This provides direct access to the underlying PDF writer back end. As such you can't use it to render HTML. Any styling on the text has to be made manually. So writing out HTML into the PDF like you're attempting to do with the DIV element won't work. Just write out the text you want.

Second, the $pdf variable. This variable is an eval-local variable you can use within your page scripts and holds a reference to the Canvas object. You don't need to do anything to access it, just reference it within any Canvas scripts.

In your containing file (e.g. PdfController.php):
