WirePDF download File

[Frank Schneider]

i create a pdf file with WirePdf on PW andand want it download to browser downloads folder.

$header = '';

$footer = $pages->get("/einstellungen/")->company_name;

$filename = 'Ausgabe.pdf';

 

error_reporting(0); // E_ALL=Melde alle PHP-Fehler 0=deaktiviert

ob_start();

ob_clean();

$pdf = $modules->get('WirePDF');

$pdf->pageFormat = 'A4';

$pdf->leftMargin = 20;

$pdf->rightMargin = 20;

$pdf->topMargin = 20;

$pdf->bottomMargin = 20;

 

$mpdf = $pdf->mpdf;

$mpdf->SetHTMLHeader($header);

$mpdf->SetHTMLFooter($footer);

$mpdf->WriteHTML($content);

ob_end_clean();

$mpdf->Output($filename, 'F');

 $mpdf->Output($filename, 'F'); works and create in template folder.

 $mpdf->Output(); not working and the browser shows, annot load file.

Know anyone the reason.

Ist it a parameter in PW?

I use "I" for "inline" when I want it to show in the browser. Still specifying a filename.

Curious about the WirePDF module though - where did you get that?

I've also tried the parameters I, D and F the same. It must be an attitude, but where.

WirePDF
I installed it via Modules-> Site-> New-> Add Module Manualy

Looks like you’re using @Wanze’s module Pages2Pdf. Unfortunately that module is pretty outdated and not compatible with PHP 8. I recommend switching to @bernhard’s RockPdf:

$pdf = $modules->get('RockPdf');
$pdf->settings([
    'mode' => 'utf-8',
    'format' => [210, 297],
    'margin_top' => 20,
    'margin_bottom' => 20,
    'margin_left' => 20,
    'margin_right' => 20,
]);
$pdf->write("<h1>{$page->title}</h1>");
$pdf->write($page->body);
$pdf->download($page->name . '.pdf');

It comes with handy output methods:

You can use these methods to output your pdf files:

save() to save your file to the file system
show() to directly show your file in the browser
download() to force the browser to download the pdf
