{
    "require": {
        "h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-i386": "0.12.4"
    }
}

Or require the package for i386 with:

php composer.phar require h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-i386 "0.12.4"

If you are in 64 bit based system:

{
    "require": {
        "h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64": "0.12.4"
    }
}

Or require the package for amd64 with:

php composer.phar require h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 "0.12.4"

The binary will then be located at:

vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-i386/bin/wkhtmltopdf-i386

Also a symlink will be created in your configured bin/ folder, for example:

vendor/bin/wkhtmltopdf-i386

Usage

The module registers two services:

  • the mvlabssnappy.image.service service allows you to generate images;
  • the mvlabssnappy.pdf.service service allows you to generate pdf files.

Generate an image from an URL

 $mvlabsSnappyImage = $container->get('mvlabssnappy.image.service'),
 $mvlabsSnappyImage->generate('http://www.mvlabs.it', '/path/to/myapp/data/image.jpg');

Generate a pdf document from an URL

 $mvlabsSnappyPdf = $container->get('mvlabssnappy.pdf.service'),
 $mvlabsSnappyPdf->generate('http://www.mvlabs.it', '/path/to/myapp/data/document.pdf');

Render a pdf document as response from a controller

class IndexController extends AbstractActionController
{
    /**
     * @var Knp\Snappy\Pdf;
     */
    protected $mvlabsSnappyPdf;

    /**
     * @var Laminas\View\Renderer\RendererInterface
     */
    protected $renderer;

    public function __construct(Pdf $mvlabsSnappyPdf, RendererInterface $renderer)
    {
        $this->mvlabsSnappyPdf = $mvlabsSnappyPdf;
        $this->renderer = $renderer;
    }

    public function testPdfAction()
    {
        $now = new \DateTime();

        $layoutViewModel = $this->layout();
        $layoutViewModel->setTemplate('layout/pdf-layout');

        $viewModel = new ViewModel([
            'vars' => $vars,
        ]);

        $viewModel->setTemplate('myModule/myController/pdf-template');

        $layoutViewModel->setVariables([
            'content' => $this->renderer->render($viewModel),
        ]);

        $htmlOutput = $this->renderer->render($layoutViewModel);

        $output = $this->mvlabsSnappyPdf->getOutputFromHtml($htmlOutput);

        $response = $this->getResponse();
        $headers  = $response->getHeaders();
        $headers->addHeaderLine('Content-Type', 'application/pdf');
        $headers->addHeaderLine('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename=\"export-" . $now->format('d-m-Y H:i:s') . ".pdf\"");

        $response->setContent($output);

        return $response;
    }
}
