How to use:

  • You need at least PHP 5.3.2

  • Use composer to install it

  • If you install html2pdf without using composer, it will not work directly. You must do "composer install" on the html2pdf folder in order to install the TCPDF dependency.

  • Look at the examples provided to see how it works.

  • It is very important to provide valid HTML 4.01 to the converter, but only what is in the <body>. Use the <page> tag.

  • for borders: it is advised that they are like solid 1mm #000000

  • for padding, they are applicable only on tags table, th, td, div, li

  • A default font can be specified, if the requested font does not exist or if no font is specified:

$html2pdf->setDefaultFont('Arial');

  • The possibility to protect your PDF is present, CF Example 7.

  • Some tests can be enabled (true) or disabled (false):

  • setTestIsImage method: test that images must exist

  • setTestTdInOnePage method: test that the contents of TDs fit on one page

  • setTestIsDeprecated method: test that old properties of specific tags are not used anymore

  • A DEBUG mode to know the resources used is present. It is activated by adding the following command just after the contructor (see Example 0): $htmlpdf->setModeDebug();

  • Some specific tags have been introduced:

    • (CF Exemple 7 & wiki)
