Question

using WordPress 3.8, i included dompdf library to generate portfolio of my site, i tried in different ways but got no solution. here is my code i tried.

<?php
require_once ('dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php');
$id="80";
$post = get_page($id);
$contents = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content); 

$html =
  '<html><body>'.
  '<p>Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '.
  'templating system.</p>'; 
  $html.= $contents;
  $html .='</body></html>';

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("Dotcom Portfolio.pdf");
}
?>

Not: when i echo $contents variable , it prints the data which is stored in it.like

$post = get_page($id);
$contents = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content); 

echo $contents;

die();

but not storing in $html variable convert in PDF.

thanks in advance.

Solution

Try this steps

    ob_start();
    include('./some_dynamic_page.php');
    $content = ob_get_clean();

    require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");

    $dompdf = new DOMPDF();
    $dompdf->load_html($content);
    $dompdf->set_paper('A4', 'portrait');
    $dompdf->render();
    $dompdf->stream("result.pdf", array("Attachment" => 0));

And the config: (dompdf_config.custom.inc)

    //define("DOMPDF_TEMP_DIR", "/tmp");
    //define("DOMPDF_CHROOT", DOMPDF_DIR);
    define("DOMPDF_UNICODE_ENABLED", true);
    //define("DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND", "PDFLib");
    define("DOMPDF_DEFAULT_MEDIA_TYPE", "print");
    define("DOMPDF_DEFAULT_PAPER_SIZE", "A4");
    //define("DOMPDF_DEFAULT_FONT", "serif");
    define("DOMPDF_DPI", 300);
