Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use TCPDF

Please download tcpdf and extrat it and put it in your application folder

And in the page that you need to convert pdf please add html part need to show in pdf into a variable

eg: $data = "Hello World"; /include tcpdf here/

$tcpdf = new TCPDF();
$textfont = 'helvetica';


$tcpdf->SetAuthor("Julia Holland");
$tcpdf->SetAutoPageBreak(true);

$tcpdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$tcpdf->setPrintFooter(false);

$tcpdf->SetTextColor(0, 0, 0);
$tcpdf->SetFont($textfont,'',9);

$tcpdf->AddPage();

$tcpdf->writeHTML($data, true, 0, true, 0);
$tcpdf->Output('filename11.pdf', 'I');

Now you can use custom fonts,style etch that are listed in tcpdf site and this one prints Hello world in pdf

Please Use tcpdf , try example 6 in tcpdf examples link http://www.tcpdf.org/examples.php

try this example :

require_once('write path to include /config/lang/eng.php');
require_once('write path to include tcpdf.php');

// create new PDF document
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);

// set document information
$pdf->SetCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
$pdf->SetAuthor('Nicola Asuni');
$pdf->SetTitle('TCPDF Example 006');
$pdf->SetSubject('TCPDF Tutorial');
$pdf->SetKeywords('TCPDF, PDF, example, test, guide');

// set default header data
$pdf->SetHeaderData(PDF_HEADER_LOGO, PDF_HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, PDF_HEADER_TITLE.' 006', PDF_HEADER_STRING);

// set header and footer fonts
$pdf->setHeaderFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_MAIN, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_MAIN));
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_DATA, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_DATA));


//set auto page breaks
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);

//set image scale factor
$pdf->setImageScale(PDF_IMAGE_SCALE_RATIO);

//set some language-dependent strings
$pdf->setLanguageArray($l);

// ---------------------------------------------------------

// set font
$pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 10);

// add a page
$pdf->AddPage();

// writeHTML($html, $ln=true, $fill=false, $reseth=false, $cell=false, $align='')
// writeHTMLCell($w, $h, $x, $y, $html='', $border=0, $ln=0, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='', $autopadding=true)

// create some HTML content
$html = 'Write your html code here';

// output the HTML content
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');

$this->pdf->lastPage();
ob_clean();
//Close and output PDF document
$this->pdf->Output($filename, 'D'); //D if you want download it use I if you want open it on new tab

Change constant value e.g PDF_HEADER_LOGO from tcpdf/config/tcpdf_config.php
