CI4 PDF Customized - gra - 02-08-2020

Goodmorning everyone,
i am using codeigniter version 4 rc3.
I should create pdfs but I have to customize them, this is to say that they are not like the web page displayed.
Which library do you recommend to use.
I with codeigniter 3 used fpdf.
Which is very customizable.
Since I'm doing a new project I ask, which pdf library integrates with codeigniter 4 and allows me to customize the reports I had to build by taking data from the database.
Thank you

One of the best is TCPDF you may want to try that one there is a new version in the works.

I built this library,

in App \\ Libraries \\Pdf.php

PHP Code:
<?php 

require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/TCPDF-master/tcpdf.php';

class Pdf extends TCPDF
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }
}

/* End of file Pdf.php */
/* Location: ./app/libraries/Pdf.php */ 

in Home_1 controller i call this.

PHP Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers;

use App\Libraries\Pdf;

class Home_1 extends BaseController
{
    
    function __construct(){       
    }
        
    public function index()
    {
            $pdf = new Pdf(); 

but it gives me a mistake
Class 'App\Libraries\Pdf' not found

thanks

<?php 
namespace App\ThirdParty;

use TCPDF;

This should do the trick.

Code:
composer require tecnickcom/tcpdf

Code:
composer install

PHP Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers;

use TCPDF;

class Home extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
    {
         $pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
    }
}
