Hello everyone I tried to create files with this library and I could not appreciate your help.
<?php
require_once('mpdf/mpdf/vendor/autoload.php');
$mpdf = new mPDF();
$mpdf->WriteHTML('<p>Your first taste of creating PDF from HTML</p>');
$mpdf->Output();
exit;
Download the library here: link and upload my files directly to my host.
I think you need to declare the function of adding a new page
$mpdf = new mPDF('utf-8', 'A4-L');
$mpdf-> Addpage('L');
$mpdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', '16');
First of all, you should download the library of here and host it on your server, I recommend you save all the files in a folder Call mpdf .
Once installed, you can test its operation with the following code.
<?php
include_once("mpdf/mpdf.php");
$mpdf = new mPDF('R','A4', 11,'Arial');
$mpdf -> SetTitle('Ejemplo de generación de PDF');
$mpdf -> WriteHTML('<body>');
$mpdf -> WriteHTML('Aquí puedes poner todas las etiquetas HTML que mpdf te permite utilizar.');
$mpdf -> WriteHTML('</body>');
$mpdf -> Output('NombreDeTuArchivo.pdf', 'I');
exit;
?>
I explain roughly, you include the library through its main file with include_once , you create a new PDF with the function new mPDF there you can assign the type of paper to use and the source, the function SetTitle(); allows you to change the title of the document that is seen in the browser, everything else is simple HTML, the last function Output(); allows you to assign the default name with which the user can save the file if desired.
As you are new to the library, I recommend using only HTML tags to format your pdf, which you can add in the WriteHTML(); function.
If it is installed correctly, the result will be the following:
To make a more elaborate design you can use tables within the WriteHTML(); functions, you know, with the <table> tags and all that.
I show you an example of how you can make a clean design through HTML tags and tables.
