I am trying to create a PDF file using html2pdf. I have followed this guide. I can create it in html fine and everything is in printable area however the created PDF does not display same results. the table width are not kept. Data is cut off at end of page on right side.
In controller
$html2pdf = Yii::app()->ePdf->HTML2PDF('L',"A4","en", array(10, 10, 10, 10));
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($print);
$html2pdf->Output();
page to be created
<style type="text/css">
@media print{thead{display:table-header-group; margin-bottom:2px;}}
@page{margin-top:1cm;margin-left:1cm;margin-right:1cm;margin-bottom:1.5cm;}}

I pasted the styling in the variable $stylesheet
html2pdf is perfect extension and I working on it in perfect way .
To solve your problem you have to add your css in external file .
foe example :
$mpdf=Yii::app()->ePdf->mpdf('utf-8', 'Letter-L');
$mpdf->ignore_invalid_utf8 = true;
$stylesheet = file_get_contents('certificate.css'); /// here call you external css file
$mpdf->WriteHTML($stylesheet,1);
$mpdf->WriteHTML($content);/// here your content
$mpdf->Output("myfile.pdf", 'D');
exit;
this example from my project it's work in perfect way with all css fetchers :
$html= '
