Quick Start

The Zff Html2pdf is a simple wrapper to easily integrates the spipu/html2pdf library to Zend Framework. It creates a Html2PdfStrategy to get a ordinary .phtml template and returns it as a .pdf file.

1. Install Zff\Html2pdf

Installation of this module uses composer. For composer documentation, please refer to getcomposer.org.

php composer.phar require fagundes/zff-html2pdf:0.*

Then add Zff\\Html2Pdf to your config/application.config.php.

Installation without composer is not officially supported and requires you to manually install all dependencies that are listed in composer.json

2. Usage

2.1. Ready to Go

This module comes ready to go. You need to return a Html2PdfModel in your controller action, instead of a ViewModel or an array. And create your view template .phtml for that action. And that's it, your view will be rendered as a .pdf file!

2.2. Simple Example

Controller: AnyController.php

<?php

use Zff\Html2Pdf\View\Model\Html2PdfModel;

class AnyController
{

    public function someAction()
    {
        //some logic here

        return new Html2PdfModel([
            'foo' => $foo,
            'bar' => $bar
        ]);
    }

}

View: some.phtml

<!-- Regular HTML -->
<div class="container">
    <h2>The header</h2>
    <p>
        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus eu metus sed lacus ultrices pharetra a vitae massa.
    </p>
</div>
