Question

In html page some tags are dynamically created using jquery and contents are loaded from msql db using jquery and php.
I want convert this dynamic page to pdf.
I have tried following code but it generate pdf of static part of html page.

<?php
    ob_start();
?>
//html code and internal css, javascript used in external file with jquery library
<?php
  include('dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php');
  $contents = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();
  $dompdf = new DOMPDF();
  $dompdf->load_html($contents);
  $dompdf->render();
  $dompdf->stream('file.pdf'); 
?>

So how to store contents of dynamic html page in a php variable after processing it ( using javascript/php ) and convert it to pdf usin dompdf or other converter.

I’d suggest you take a look at wkhtmltopdf. I’ve had good results with getting it to render google charts, which are built dynamically from a javascript api.
