Formerly published as WirePDF. The module was renamed to PagePdf in 3.0.0 to avoid confusion and upgrade collisions with the legacy WirePDF class bundled in Pages2Pdf.

• Render PDF output as a string with $page->renderPdf()
• Save PDFs directly to disk with $modules->get('PagePdf')->savePdf()

• Configure paper size, orientation, margins, font, image DPI, headers, footers, and watermarks
• Add PDF password protection and copy/print restrictions
