Using DomPDF library

How to integrate domPdf library in my application.

Just read the documentation on https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf

Say you do not have composer auto-loading configured:
- download the library and extract under applications/third_party
- in your controller or model load it like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
 require_once APPPATH.'third_party'
                   .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'dompdf'
                   .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'autoload.inc.php';

use Dompdf\Dompdf;

class Yourclass extends CI_Controller{

public function index (){
// instantiate and use the dompdf class
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml('hello world');

// (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');

// Render the HTML as PDF
$dompdf->render();

// Output the generated PDF to Browser
$dompdf->stream();

}

} 


I think you will find that DOMPDF sucks. Search the internet for wkhtmltopdf. Much better PDF generation.

Both require Node, which is fine if you have Node in production, but many basic shared hosting accounts don’t have it. Am I missing something?

Well, I don't know if you've tried wkhtmltopdf, but it's almost perfect. Yes, you've still got some custom CSS needed for tables that spam multiple pages, but I think you'll find it's great compared to DOMPDF. With DOMPDF you can't even have floated divs for columns.
