Best solution for PDF/Word generation under Laravel?

Question

Laravel

Tell me good PHP vendors or Laravel-specific solutions that you yourself use to generate PDF and Word.

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

knp-snappy is an excellent vendor for generating PDF both from html and from a specified URL, with all styles, links, pictures, etc. preserved. The only thing I noticed is that it does not understand the css style display: flex =) Everything else is great . You can output to a file, instantly download, and render to the screen.

Answer 2

PHPWORD generation based on template

Answer 4

If you need Word, then just save the html with the styles embedded in the document (there is an opportunity to start a paragraph from a new page) with the .doc extension
. Word opens it perfectly.
PDF is more difficult. I am using laravel-dompdf. Generally ok, but expected problem - rotated 90 degrees. text (you need to specify the height of the object).
In fact, it all depends on the task. Ask yourself (the customer): do you really need export? The fact is that on Win10 (well, in Linux for a very long time) a standard printer appeared in PDF. You can print from any application. Therefore, if it fits within the scope of the task, then you can simply generate the page and automatically open the print dialog.
