Saving the PDF about dompdfmodule HOT 5 CLOSED

You could use DOMPDF directly by grabbing an instance of it from ServiceLocator.

$dompdf = $serviceManager->get('DOMPDF');
$dompdf->load_html($html);
file_put_contents('someFileOfMine.pdf', $dompdf->render());

This is untested but I believe it should work.

Please note that when you call for DOMPDF from the service locator, you are getting a new instance each time.

Also, using DOMPDF directly like this, you lose rendering support. Perhaps another service should be included in the module that is responsible for template rendering. I have to think about this some more. If you have suggestions let me know ;-)

Leaving this issue open right now for discussion.

I managed to stream it as email attachment by doing so:

// generate PDF
$pdf = new PdfModel();
$pdf->setOption('filename', 'user_details-' . date("Y_m_d"));
$pdf->setOption('paperSize', 'a4');
$pdf->setVariables(array(
'User' => $User,
));

// Render PDF
$pdfView = new ViewModel($pdf);
$pdfView->setTerminal(true)
    ->setTemplate('Application/index/pdf')
    ->setVariables(array(
        'User' => $User,
    ));

$html = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('viewpdfrenderer')->getHtmlRenderer()->render($pdfView);
$eng = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('viewpdfrenderer')->getEngine();

$eng->load_html($html);
$eng->render();
$pdfCode = $eng->output();

$dompdf->load_html($homepage);
file_put_contents('someFileOfMine.pdf', $dompdf->render());

Call to a member function get_current_line_box() on a non-object in E:\websites\sticky_notes\vendor\dompdf\dompdf\include\absolute_positioner.cls.php on line 92

Please advice.

Hi all,

As you've noticed DOMPDFModule hasn't received the time and attention it deserves. I understand how frustrating this is and I'm sorry you've had to deal with this frustration 😢

I'm currently taking steps to stabilize DOMPDFModule which includes code updates as well as creating a backlog that will ensure its continued success.

You can follow project Phoneix to see what immediate work is being prioritized.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
