background-image defined in CSS doesn't render.

I encounter this error:

Use of undefined constant DOMPDF_LIB_DIR - assumed 'DOMPDF_LIB_DIR'
Open: /var/www/path-to-laravel/vendor/dompdf/dompdf/include/stylesheet.cls.php

I'm getting this error when uploading an image, and not even trying to use your code to create a PDF.

Any suggestions?

if (Input::hasFile('image_file_name'))
        {
            $file                                   = Input::file('image_file_name');
            $this->style->image_file_name           = str_replace("'", '', $file->getClientOriginalName());
            $uploadSuccess                          = $file->move($this->upload_file_path, $this->style->image_file_name);

            $this->resize_me                        = App::make('Resize');
            $this->resize_me->openImage($this->upload_file_path . '/' . $this->style->image_file_name);
            $this->resize_me->resizeImage(470, 470, 'auto');
            $this->resize_me->saveImage($this->upload_file_path . '/' . $this->style->image_file_name, 100);
        }

When trying to generate a PDF, I get the following error:

exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Undefined index: N' in MY_REPO_PATH/vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/class.pdf.php:2119
Stack trace:

#5 .... and so on ...

We've attempted this on multiple machines with different environments and got the same error. As you can see, the PDF does use a custom font, which is done via @font-face. I thought it was interesting though that the error came from an undefined index in lib/class.pdf.php

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi, i'm getting errors when trying this code :

Route::get('/pdf', function()
{
    $pdf = PDF::loadView('sites.form', array());
    return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');
});

I have a quite simple report implemented with latest Laravel 4.0.8 under Apapche on windows (PHP 5.4.x). The first time I click on report link the download works fine. The second time I do it it simply freezes app and ends up with error message as below. I tried to restart apache/php stack but its the same.

The error I get is like this:

Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException

Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded
open: C:\e-projects\laravel\gapps\vendor\symfony\http-foundation\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Storage\Proxy\SessionHandlerProxy.php

}

/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function read($id)
{
return (string) $this->handler->read($id);
}

My code is quite simple:

public function getPdfreport(){
$p=Project::find(Input::get("id"));
$c=Company::find($p->company_id);
$m=Milestone::where("project_id",$p->id)->orderBy("status")->with("manager")->get();

$h = View::make("projects::pdf/project_report",$data=array("p"=>$p, "c"=>$c, "mm"=>$m));

$x = PDF::loadHTML($h);
return $x->download($filename="project_".$p->id.".pdf");

}

Any idea what causes such error?

Hi,

I am trying to open up print dialog box on my generated pdf once it gets streamed to the user. I found out that it is possible to do using the dompdf with the following command dompdf/dompdf#713. I tried to do the same thing with this library, it renders the pdf, but the javascript does not kick in. I wonder if there's anything else that I need to do.

I have the enable javascript settings set to true on the dompdf_config.inc.php

def("DOMPDF_ENABLE_JAVASCRIPT", true);

My controller just get the html using Laravel View::make

$pdf = App::make('dompdf');
$pdfPage = View::make('some_view');
$pdf->loadHTML($mailPdf);
return $pdf->stream('file.pdf');

and it does not work even if I use simple view

<html>

<head>
  <title>Javascript test</title>
</head>

<body>
  <h1>PDF JS Test</h1>
  <p>This page will call the print dialog on load.</p>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  try {
    this.print();
  }
  </script>
</body>

</html>

Is there something I did wrong? or if there's some other settings that need to be enabled? Thank you in advance.

php artisan config:publish barryvdh/l4-dompdf

Hi Barry,

I have probably a fairly unique case here, but I've come up against an issue with this great wrapper for dompdf.

I have some code, that creates a very small pdf using the loadHTML method.

Later on the code needs to call itself again with new variables and tries ones again to create a new Dompdf object and then loadHTML.

On this SECOND attempt of instantiating DOMPDF, I get the above error concerning the already defined constants.

The issue I see is in
/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf/src/Barryvdh/DomPDF/PDF.php

protected function loadConfig(){

        define("DOMPDF_ENABLE_REMOTE", true);
        define("DOMPDF_ENABLE_AUTOLOAD", false);
        define("DOMPDF_CHROOT", base_path());

[....snip....]
    }

If I do a test before defining the constants, everything works perfectly.

 protected function loadConfig(){

       if(!defined("DOMPDF_ENABLE_REMOTE")){
            define("DOMPDF_ENABLE_REMOTE", true);
        }
        if(!defined("DOMPDF_ENABLE_AUTOLOAD")){
            define("DOMPDF_ENABLE_AUTOLOAD", false);
        }
        if(!defined("DOMPDF_CHROOT")){
            define("DOMPDF_CHROOT", base_path());
        }

[....snip....]
}

Would there be any chance of an update to your code so I could update reliably in the future?

Many thanks sir.

In 0.4.0 you are not able to create multiple PDF documents in one request. If you attempt to call PDF::loadView() twice in one request you receive:

DOMPDF_Exception
No block-level parent found. Not good.

This seems to be related to the PDF::__construct() and PDF::init() refactoring. If I comment out this it seems to work. I guess DOMPDF needs to be re-instantiated for each new use.

Hi
I've done all steps but when I use PDF::loadView, Laravel can not find PDF Class.
in addition, I used ./composer.phar dump-autoload too.

Here is my error once I place a specified rowspan and colspan on my Blade view. I tried to run the Blade view without the dompdf and it's running. And also I tried to run the dompdf without using the laravel and it's woking also. Would you please help me regarding on this issue?

Thank you.

$pdf = App::make('dompdf');
$pdf->loadHTML('

ทดสอบ

but empty in pdf . how to fix?

I'm traying to render a table with aprox 50 rows with loop in blade, and throw error:

Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted...

Thanks for such excellent dompdf binding!! I'm using it with Lataver 4, things are working smooth, I can download PDF without problem ... but stream() is working for me in Firefox but doesnt work in Chrome for me. In Chrome it just opens empty PDF and thats all. Is this just me or overall problem?

Need the ability to access the (currently) protected $dompdf property, which gives the ability to add content to every page (such as page count or other repeatable information).

$pdf = \PDF::loadHTML($this->layout->render());
$pdf->output();

$canvas = $pdf->dompdf->get_canvas();
$height = $canvas->get_height();
$width = $canvas->get_width();

$header = $canvas->open_object();
$canvas->page_text($width / 2, 24, 'Text', \Font_Metrics::get_font('Helvetica'), 10, array(0,0,0));
$canvas->close_object();
$canvas->add_object($header, 'all');

return $pdf->stream('output.pdf');

DOMPDF runs slow when streaming or downloading a PDF, this happens when I use any Laravel 4 methods and when the environment is set to local.

On production it works ok, I've only enable support for css floats in the config file... any ideas?

executing this code give me empty page not even empty PDF

$pdf = App::make('dompdf');
$pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>');
return $pdf->stream();

How to access Page count and page number inside blade views?

Can you tell me if this is due to my installation?

Use of undefined constant DOMPDF_TEMP_DIR - assumed 'DOMPDF_TEMP_DIR'

I am using java script in creating the graph. I set a division where to plot the graph but no result. Thank you

Love this package, works great but for some reason I get an error when trying to pass to the template

In controller:

$order = Order::find($id);
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.invoice', $order)->setPaper('a4')->setOrientation('portrait');
return $pdf->stream('invoice.pdf');

In the template:

{{$order->id}}

And I get an error:

Method Illuminate\View\View::__toString() must not throw an exception

If I remove the {{$order->id}} from the template the PDF works perfectly. Any help much appreciated - I must have misunderstood something..again... :)

The view works with the images but the pdf doesn't and takes ages to generate (it shows the path and it's the correct path)... is there a max size for images? that might be the problem. thanks =)

I'm trying to update to Laravel 4.1 and I have the impending that laravel-dompdf requires 4.0.x, you will do support to 4.x or this will be modified whtn Laravel 4.1 is finished? thanks

Hello there,

I installed laravel-dompdf via composer to my app. Then I added the following snippet from readme into my router to test it.

$pdf = App::make('dompdf');
$pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>');
return $pdf->stream();

Only it got an exception

Call to a member function build_tree() on a non-object

that referred to the original dompdf-library.
I assumed that the problem is in the barryvdh\laravel-dompdf and found the following when I browsed through the code of PDF::loadHTML:

    public function loadHTML($string, $encoding = null){
        $pdf = $this->newInstance();
        $string = $this->convertEntities($string);
        $pdf->dompdf->load_html($string, $encoding);
        $pdf->rendered = false;
        return $pdf;
    }

it seems that this function does not update the instance that it belongs to but just gives back an instance to work with. So the snippet worked with the following modification:

$pdf = App::make('dompdf');
$pdf = $pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>');
return $pdf->stream();

Have I been doing something wrong in my first step or is this documentation wrong at this point or is loadHTML() buggy here?

Thanks for solving this small issue.

The loadHTML method is missing the second optional parameter to allow the passing on encoding.

load_html($str, $encoding = null)

The package method (called in boot) does a lot of file/directory checks when it is called. If you have an app that does a lot of things NOT related to DomPDF this will cause a problem. Would it be possible to set the service provider to be deferred?

What is this issue, I installed via Composer and added the alias and service provider, as per the docs on Github, and my code in the controller looks like so:

public function pdf()
{
$data = DailyReports::all();
$pdf = PDF::loadView('reports.daily', $data);
return $pdf->download('report.pdf');
}

I want to pass this $card data to the pdf page but I get the following error:

' Method Illuminate\View\View::__toString() must not throw an exception '

    $data = Cards::where('id', '=', $id)->first();
    $pdf = PDF::loadView('applications.pdf', $data);
    return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');

Hey!
I'm getting a persistent error when executing this:

return PDF::loadHTML('<body><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/></head><body><h1>Test</h1></body>')->download();

The error reads "iconv_strlen(): Wrong charset, conversion from 8bit//IGNORE' toUCS-4LE' is not allowed", from file: /vendor/patchwork/utf8/class/Patchwork/PHP/Shim/Mbstring.php

Any ideas on what could be generating this?
I'm using L4.1 with Apache/2.2.26 and PHP 5.3.28

Thanks!

$pdf = PDF::loadView('print.pdf', $data);
return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');

It's return ErrorException: fopen(): Filename cannot be empty

Can you tag a release? This package can't be installed if minimum-stability is stable due to an out of date composer.json which requires 4.0.x.

Why is not reading my css...it generates the pdf but it is all mixed up. It is not reading my css.

Css float dont work.
Is there some configuration for that?

Is it possible for me to attach the link of style sheet and use the CSS accordingly in HTML. Will it be able to still generate a PDF properly?

Thanks!

Creating a wrapper for L4 is a nice idea, but you really shouldn't be modifying the original package which you are wrapping!

Just lits it as a dependency in your package.

https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf

It's right here, so its easy to install.

Hi,
Thanks for you package and use and love it. I've run into problems especially now that we are using Queues and building PDFs and mailing them from the artisan CLI, with relative PATHs. The fix was to use dompdf's ->set_base_path() method but I couldn't figure out where I could do that with your package so in PDF.php in your package, inside the init() function I added this call:
$this->dompdf = new \DOMPDF();
$this->dompdf->set_base_path(realpath(public_path())); //Mod by LP

If you think this makes sense for others you can add it, and this way mine doesn't break when I composer update to the next version ;)

Composer returns the following error upon installation/update:

Hi,

I'm playing around with print large-ish views (20 items in an array) and it seems to take ages to generate the 20 page PDF.

I ran tests with a 10 page/item and it's returning a file that's 6.8MB in size and takes about 30 seconds to generate.

Is there a way that I can offload the PDF Generating into the background before sending via email, or even a way to speed up the generating?

How can I load images on dompdf? . The view is working with images when I output it via controller but can't see the images when generating using the library. My images are located at public/assets/img/image.png I access it through src="/assets/img/image.png"

Hi,
I try to use this package for generate pdf invoices on big dataset.
I create a view and with foreach i generate a html string with all data.
The string work but the pdf files grab only first record

After 0.4.0 I only receive this error also even with just the example code.
Revert to 0.4.0 and everything is ok.

Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException

Dear Barry,

Is it possible to use fonts in this module?

If I load a view (PDF/invoice), it does not recognise my fonts, even not inline.

Edit:
Solved.. Just in the head, worked

body {
font-family: 'Helvetica'
}

Hello again.

One very small feature request to. Would you be able to add a method that returns the PDF created as a string?

At the moment we have download/stream/save which are all useful, but being able to get the pdf as a string would also be very handy and would stop me having to either save the file first before loading it again - or modifying the stream.

Thank you very much sir.

Hello, sorry for my english :(

I have one problem, i need change DOMPDF_TEMP_DIR why i use zpanel (control panel) and by default the directory tmp is /var/zpanel/temp and not /tmp (sys_get_temp_dir() ), how change the path?
Some method for change DOMPDF_TEMP_DIR?

I've tried requiring each of these in composer (different times of course)

"barryvdh/laravel-dompdf": "dev-master"
"barryvdh/laravel-dompdf": "0.2.*"
