FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

ChromePdfBundle

WYSIWYPDF -- What You See Is What You PDF

The dockerless PDF generator for Symfony. Just Chrome. No containers, no wrapping, no kidding.

composer require daif/chrome-pdf-bundle

Why this bundle?

I wanted to use sensiolabs/gotenberg-bundle -- it's a great and complete Symfony bundle for PDF generation. But it relies on Gotenberg, which requires a running Docker container.

In my case, working in on-premise environments (banking, insurance, regulated industries), Docker is simply not available on production servers. Security policies and infrastructure constraints prevent running containers.

Yet these same machines almost always have a browser installed, or can easily add one. Google Chrome and Chromium are well-maintained, widely trusted, and available on virtually every Linux distribution through standard package managers.

So I built ChromePdfBundle: the same clean builder-based API, but driving Chrome/Chromium directly via the Chrome DevTools Protocol -- no Docker, no external service, no extra infrastructure.

Docker-based solutions ChromePdfBundle
Require Docker + a running container Requires only a Chrome/Chromium binary
HTTP calls to an external service Direct communication via CDP
Extra infrastructure to maintain Uses a browser already on the system
Not usable in Docker-free environments Works everywhere Chrome runs
