I found this library to convert HTML to PDF: dompdf.

The example source code looks like this:

<?php   
    require_once("dompdf/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");
?>

Is there a way to import a PHP output into this code?

Or is there a better way to convert a PHP output to PDF?

    You can use Output Buffers to achieve this as well. I’ve used this with DOMPDF in the past.

    /* Use output buffer capture */
ob_start();
require_once "Renderer.php";
$layoutHTML = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

    $layoutHTML will have the processed HTML.

    And then you can use DOMPDF the way you’ve described in your question

     $dompdf->load_html($html);

    Careful that this can chew a lot of memory (depending on the problem of course).
