Usage

You can create a new Snappy PDF/Image instance and load a HTML string, file or view name. You can save it to a file, or stream (show in browser) or download.

Using the App container:

$snappy = App::make('snappy.pdf');
//To file
$snappy->generateFromHtml('<h1>Bill</h1><p>You owe me money, dude.</p>', '/tmp/bill-123.pdf');
$snappy->generate('http://www.github.com', '/tmp/github.pdf'));
//Or output:
return new Response(
    $snappy->getOutputFromHtml($html),
    200,
    array(
        'Content-Type'          => 'application/pdf',
        'Content-Disposition'   => 'attachment; filename="file.pdf"'
    )
);

Using the wrapper:

$pdf = App::make('snappy.pdf.wrapper');
$pdf->loadHTML('<h1>Test</h1>');
return $pdf->stream();

Or use the facade:

$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.invoice', $data);
return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf');

You can chain the methods:

return PDF::loadFile('http://www.github.com')->stream('github.pdf');

You can change the orientation and paper size

PDF::loadHTML($html)->setPaper('a4')->setOrientation('landscape')->setOption('margin-bottom', 0)->save('myfile.pdf')

If you need the output as a string, you can get the rendered PDF with the output() function, so you can save/output it yourself.
