#How to install PhantomJS on a linux machine.

1. connect to server via ssh
2. change the user to root user with: su - or sudo su depending on what linux distro you have (centos or ubuntu)
3. go to tmp folder cd /tmp
4. Download latest phantom static build with: wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
5. Unzip the file with: tar -xjvf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
6. go to phantom folder cd phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin
7. move or copy the file phantomjs in your path: mv phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs or cp phantomjs /usr/bin/phantomjs
8. check if the file is executable, if isn't please make it chmod a+x /usr/bin/phantomjs
9. try to run the file from any folder phantomjs
10. put in a folder, where you want the next js file:

convert.js

/********************************************/
var page = require('webpage').create();

// here you can set the viewport size
page.viewportSize = { width: 1200, height: 960 };

var syst = require('system');

var t = Date.now();

// set the default url if you want
var address = 'http://www.google.com';

if (syst.args.length < 2) {
  console.log('Usage: convert.js <some URL>');
  phantom.exit();
}

address = syst.args[1];

page.open(address, function(status){
    console.log('Status: ' + status);
    if (status === 'success') {
	    page.render('/your/path/for/pdf-files/' + t + '.pdf');
//    	page.render('/your/path/for/png-files/' + t + '.png');
    }
    phantom.exit();
});
/**********************************************/

10. how to use the script from command line, in the folder where the convert.js is phantomjs convert.js http://test.adviceasdev.dk/maerskretool/print-example.html

after that, you will have a pdf file, something like 4545335353000.pdf in your folder

##Update

index.html is only a demo to show you how the things works

folders css, js and img are for demo only

convert.js is the file which make the conversion from html to pdf. this file will be run in command line by php

converttopdf.php - the file which generate html file and send it to convert.js

download.php - will return the pdf file and delete it from server

temporary files (html and pdf) will be saved in tmp folder and are automatically deleted when the pdf is downloaded.

don't forget to set the rights for tmp folder

chmod 755 tmp
