Generate pdf files with Neos.Fusion using wkhtmltopdf

• wkhtmltopdf

To render a node My.DocumentType as pdf, create a fusion prototype My.DocumentType.Pdf that extends Kleisli.FusionFiles:File.Pdf.

• showAsHtml, boolean, to debug the response, default = false
• disposition, either 'inline' (default value, to display the pdf file in the brower) or 'attachment' (to download the pdf file directly)
• filename, string, with disposition='attachment' this defines the filename of the file to be downlaoded
• cssRessourcePaths, Neos.Fusion:DataStructure, the paths to the css files needed to render the html for the pdf
• htmlContent, Neos.Fusion:DataStructure with fixed keys
  • header, string, the html code to be repeated on top of every page of the pdf document
  • body, string, the html code containing the content
  • footer, string, the html code to be repeated in the bottom of every page of the pdf document

Rendering a Document node as Pdf using Neos.Neos:ContentCollection displays the Content nodes with the same Markup as for the HTML web page.

While the same markup might be fine for many content elements, there might also be elements (especially elements relying on javascript), that need a pdf specific markup. This can be achieved by just creating a prototype with appended .Pdf, e.g. to change markup for My.ContentType in the pdf, create My.ContentType.Pdf

To render content elements in pdf only and hide them in other formats, or skip them in the pdf document, create a node property pdfVisibility and set it to either 'hideInPdf' or 'pdfOnly'.

Or add the mixin Kleisli.FusionFiles.Pdf:Mixin.PdfVisibility to the node type to be able to define visibility in the backend.
