        "wemersonjanuario/laravelpdf": "1.1.*"
    }

Step 5

'executable' => '/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf'

Some examples

PDF::loadView('pdf.invoice')->download('invoice.pdf');

PDF::loadURL('http://www.laravel.com')->grayscale()->pageSize('A3')->orientation('Landscape')->stream('laravel.pdf')

Route::get('/', function() {
    return PDF::loadHTML('<strong>Hello World</strong>')->lowquality()->pageSize('A2')->download();
});

Since 1.0.3 the library supports generating PDF from multiple Laravel views of HTML pieces. Each part begins from a new page. Examples of using this feature:

PDF::loadViews(['pdf.order', 'pdf.invoice', 'pdf.wiretransfer'])->download('payment-bundle.pdf');

$htmlPages[] = getMainReport();
$htmlPages[] = getAdditionalReport();
PDF::loadHTMLs($htmlPages)->download('consolidated-report.pdf');

 Saving the PDF

laravelpdf uses League\Flysystem to save the file to the local or remote filesystems.

Usage

$pdfObject->save(string $filename, League\Flysystem\AdapterInterface $adapter, $overwrite)

filename: the name of the file you want to save with

adapter: FlySystem Adapter

overwrite: If set to true and the file exists it will be overwritten, otherwise an Exception will be thrown.

Examples

// Save the pdf to the local file system
PDF::loadHTML('<b>Hello World</b>')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'));

// Save to AWS S3
$client = S3Client::factory([
    'key'    => '[your key]',
    'secret' => '[your secret]',
]);
PDF::loadHTML('<b>Hello World</b>')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\AwsS3($client, 'bucket-name', 'optional-prefix'));

// Save to FTP
$ftpConf = [
    'host' => 'ftp.example.com',
    'username' => 'username',
    'password' => 'password',

    /** optional config settings */
    'port' => 21,
    'root' => '/path/to/root',
    'passive' => true,
    'ssl' => true,
    'timeout' => 30,
];
PDF::loadHTML('<b>Hello World</b>')
    ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Ftp($ftpConf));

// Save to the multiple locations and stream it
return PDF::loadHTML('<b>Hello World</b>')
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Ftp($ftpConf))
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\AwsS3($client, 'bucket-name', 'optional-prefix'))
        ->save("invoice.pdf", new League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'))
        ->download();
