I am making an app that creates an invoice. It is created in HTML and PHP using different data from a database.
I need to create a function that converts the page into a PDF and send it to a client.
I can not store it on server as it would mean to create a few hundred everyday. I need something like "http://FreeHTMLtoPDF.com/?convert=".$strBillURL; but it's not working any more.
Many thanks if you can help me!
I prefer to generate PDF files using some library that converts HTML/CSS to PDF. One of the libraries that provides this and is very easy to use is mPDF: https://github.com/mpdf/mpdf
I have no information regarding what type of PDFs you generate, but in my projects I tend to generate them on the fly from the data in the database and do not store them at all.
There are also other options available for converting HTML to PDF, like wkhtmltopdf, but they might require additional knowledge in set up: https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf
