PDF View Rendering Module for Kohana 3.3

PDF Module for Kohana 3.3

Extension for Kohana's View class that renders as a PDF instead of HTML. Uses DOMPDF to render normal HTML views as PDF Files. Please report all bugs related to PDF rendering there

Installation

Install DOMPDF using the submodule:

cd modules/pdf
git submodule update --init

This will install DOMPDF to vendor/dompdf/dompdf from the DOMPDF Git mirror. For DOMPDF to work properly, the fonts directory must be writable:

# Replace "http" with your web server user and group!
chown http:http vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts

# An insecure alternative:
chmod 0777 vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts

Usage

Placed in a controller action:

// Load a view using the PDF extension
$pdf = View_PDF::factory('pdf/example');

// Use the PDF as the request response
$this->request->response = $pdf;

// Display the PDF in the browser as "my_pdf.pdf"
// Remove "inline = TRUE" to force the PDF to be downloaded
$this->request->send_file(TRUE, 'my_pdf.pdf', ['inline' => TRUE]);
