A simple Laravel 4 service provider for including the wkhtmltopdf library.
The Laravel PDF Service Provider can be installed via Composer by requiring the
ignited/laravel-pdf
package in your project's composer.json
.
{
"require": {
"ignited/laravel-pdf": "1.*"
}
}
32-bit systems
{
"require": {
"h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-i386": "*"
}
}
64-bit systems
{
"require": {
"h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64": "*"
}
}
You can include both of these if you need.
To use the PDF Service Provider, you must register the provider when bootstrapping your Laravel application.
Publish the package configuration using Artisan.
php artisan config:publish ignited/laravel-pdf
Update your settings in the generated app/config/packages/ignited/laravel-pdf
configuration file.
Uncomment the relevant binary.
