[![Total Downloads](https://img.shields.io/packagist/dt/spatie/laravel-pdf.svg?style=flat-square)](https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/laravel-pdf)This package provides a simple way to create PDFs in Laravel apps. Under the hood it uses [Chromium](https://www.chromium.org/chromium-projects/) to generate PDFs from Blade views. You can use modern CSS features like grid and flexbox to create beautiful PDFs.
Here's a quick example:
```php
use Spatie\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf;Pdf::view('pdfs.invoice', ['invoice' => $invoice])
->format('a4')
->save('invoice.pdf')
```This will render the Blade view `pdfs.invoice` with the given data and save it as a PDF file.
You can also return the PDF as a response from your controller:
```php
use Spatie\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf;class DownloadInvoiceController
{
public function __invoke(Invoice $invoice)
{
return Pdf::view('pdfs.invoice', ['invoice' => $invoice])
->format('a4')
->name('your-invoice.pdf');
}
}
```You can use also test your PDFs:
```php
use Spatie\LaravelPdf\Facades\Pdf;it('can render an invoice', function () {
Pdf::fake();$invoice = Invoice::factory()->create();
$this->get(route('download-invoice', $invoice))
->assertOk();
Pdf::assertRespondedWithPdf(function (PdfBuilder $pdf) {
return $pdf->contains('test');
});
});

## Documentation
All documentation is available [on our documentation site](https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-pdf).
## Testing
For running the testsuite, you'll need to have Puppeteer installed. Pleaser refer to the Browsershot requirements [here](https://spatie.be/docs/browsershot/v4/requirements). Usually `npm -g i puppeteer` will do the trick.
Additionally, you'll need the `pdftotext` CLI which is part of the poppler-utils package. More info can be found in in the [spatie/pdf-to-text readme](https://github.com/spatie/pdf-to-text?tab=readme-ov-file#requirements). Usually `brew install poppler-utils` will suffice.
Finally run the tests with:
```bash
composer test
