barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

This system is a Laravel and Lumen wrapper for the Dompdf library, designed to facilitate PDF generation within PHP applications. It provides a facade-based interface for loading views or HTML, rendering them into PDFs, and managing output formats such as downloading, streaming, or saving to storage. The package supports configurable options for paper settings and PDF/A-3b compliance, while maintaining compatibility with modern PHP and Laravel versions.

A new \config/dompdf.php\ file has been added to the application, providing a comprehensive set of default settings for the Dompdf library. This configuration allows users to customize PDF generation behavior, including enabling PDF/A-3b compliance for archival-quality documents, adjusting font directories and caching paths, defining allowed URI protocols for security, and selecting the rendering backend (defaulting to CPDF). It also exposes options for paper size, orientation, media type, and warning handling, serving as the central point for overriding Dompdf's internal defaults.

config · high confidence

This release establishes the foundational structure for the Laravel DOMPDF wrapper by adding essential configuration and documentation files. It introduces .editorconfig and .gitattributes to standardize coding styles and repository exports, alongside a MIT LICENSE file. The CHANGELOG.md is added to track version history, while the README.md is updated to provide comprehensive installation and usage instructions for both Laravel and Lumen, including configuration details and examples for generating PDFs.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

A new static facade class \Barryvdh\\DomPDF\\Facade\\Pdf\ is added, allowing users to access the PDF service via static method calls (e.g., \Pdf::loadView()\) instead of resolving the instance from the container. The facade delegates all calls to the underlying \dompdf.wrapper\ service and includes PHPDoc annotations for magic methods, enabling IDE autocompletion for operations like setting paper size, loading views/HTML, and outputting the PDF.

src/Facade · high confidence

Users can now generate PDF/A-3b compliant documents by calling the new \setPdfA()\ method on the PDF instance, which automatically embeds required fonts (like DejaVu Sans) and enables subsetting to ensure validation. Additionally, the library exposes \setOption()\ and \setOptions()\ methods, allowing direct manipulation of underlying Dompdf configuration settings, including the ability to merge new options with defaults. The service provider has been updated to bind the Dompdf instance and wrapper separately, ensuring that configuration changes via \dompdf.options\ are correctly applied during instantiation.

src · high confidence

The legacy \src/config/config.php\ file, which previously defined DOMPDF settings such as the configuration file path, orientation, and paper size, has been removed from the codebase. This change eliminates the local configuration overrides for the PDF generation library, implying that users should now rely on the default settings provided by the \dompdf/dompdf\ package or manage these settings through a different configuration mechanism.

src/config · high confidence

The Facade, PDF wrapper class, and ServiceProvider for the Barryvdh DomPDF package have been removed from the source code. This eliminates the legacy Laravel-specific integration layer that previously handled PDF generation via the 'dompdf' service container binding, view rendering, and configuration loading.

src/Barryvdh · high confidence

Added a new test suite (PdfTest) and supporting test infrastructure (TestCase, test views) to verify the PDF package's core functionality. The tests cover creating PDFs via the Facade and aliases, downloading and streaming responses with correct headers, saving PDFs to local storage and disks, handling filename quoting and fallbacks, using magic methods for configuration, and rendering inline data images.

tests · high confidence

This update significantly raises the minimum requirements for the package, dropping support for older PHP versions (now requiring PHP 8.1+) and older Laravel releases (now supporting Laravel 9 through 13). The core PDF generation library has been upgraded from previous versions to Dompdf 3.1, and the internal font library dependency has been removed, likely relying on Dompdf's bundled capabilities. Additionally, the package now uses PSR-4 autoloading, includes explicit license and keyword metadata, and configures auto-discovery for Laravel service providers and aliases.
