Open the view in browser as html page, not as pdf using DOMPDF - nadeem14375 - 04-04-2023
Hi,
I am using Codeigniter 4, with DOMPDF.
My controller works, but open the view in browser as html page, not as pdf page, I want to download the pdf.
Code:
public function invoice_pdf()
{
$request = \Config\Services::request();
$id = $request->getPost('id');
$main_model = new MainModel;
$this->data['invoice_list']= $main_model->list_invoice($id);
$dompdf = new \Dompdf\Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml(view('list_invoice_pdf', $this->data));
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');
$dompdf->set_option('isHtml5ParserEnabled', true);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream();
}regards:

The following code works for me:
PHP Code:
$dompdf = new \Dompdf\Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml(view('Modules\Intranet\Views\pdf_view'));
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream('myFile.pdf');
With the following pdf_view.php:
PHP Code:
<?php
echo '<p>PDF File</p>';
I can't tell why it is not working for you.

I understand. The samples I sent you generate a PDF which is downloaded in my download folder.
Also, in Firefox setttings - Applications, PDF's are to be opened by Windows default application which is Adobe Acrobat on my system.
What's in your view?
