PDF

PDF File class for generating PDFs from HTML.

This class can be used to generate PDFs from HTML sources. It extends the Hazaar\File class so all of it's methods are available. The difference here is that when calling Hazaar\File\PDF::set_content(), the content is filtered throught the PDF generator. So you can set the content as HTML and the actual stored content will be in PDF format.

If the content being set is already in PDF format, there is protection coded in that does not attempt to re-render the content.
