  • 0

A client of mine has a food blog hosted on WordPress. Each post entry contains some text and a div called “recipes” with some more text inside it. They would like to add to this div a link that generates a PDF of the recipe, dynamically, for saving or printing, as the user sees fit.

I have seen quite a few WordPress plugins that offer the conversion of entire posts to PDF but not anything that’s customizable enough to select a given portion of a post, the way we’d like to.

Any suggestions on how to do this? I’m comfortable with PHP, Javascript, CSS but am new to the various PDF libraries.

    Take a look at dompdf It’s pretty easy to work with 🙂 This is from the documentation:

    <?php
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");

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

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
