How to Install

Add IoTcpdfBundle in your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "meilon/tcpdfbundle": "dev-master"
    }
}

Now tell composer to download the bundle by running the command:

$ php composer.phar update

Composer will install the bundle to your project's vendor/meilon directory.

Step 2: Enable the bundle

Enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Io\TcpdfBundle\IoTcpdfBundle(),
    );
}

Controller: mybundle/controllers/myController.php

        class MyController extends Controller
        {
            /**
             * @Route("/mypage.pdf")
             */
            public function mypageAction()
            {
                //creating html source
                $html = $this->renderView('MyBundle:MyController:mypage.pdf.twig', array());

                //loading io_tcpdf library
                $pdf = $this->get('io_tcpdf');
                //do your stuff here
                    
                //display pdf (it returns a Response Object)
                return $pdf->quick_pdf($html);

        }
