This package provides a simple way to create PDFs in Laravel apps. It supports multiple drivers: [Browsershot](https://spatie.be/docs/browsershot) (Chromium), [Gotenberg](https://gotenberg.dev) (Docker-based), [Cloudflare Browser Rendering](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/), [WeasyPrint](https://doc.courtbouillon.org/weasyprint/stable/) (Python-based), and [DOMPDF](https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf) (pure PHP). You can use modern CSS features like grid and flexbox with the Chromium-based drivers, use WeasyPrint for excellent CSS Paged Media support, or choose DOMPDF for a zero-dependency setup.
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');
});
});
```
## Laravel Boost
This package ships with a [Laravel Boost](https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/boost) skill. After installing the package, run `php artisan boost:install` to register the skill. This will help AI agents in your project generate correct PDF code.

## 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
```
