## What it is
A Laravel wrapper around the Dompdf HTML-to-PDF converter, exposing a facade and service provider for rendering Blade views or HTML strings as PDFs. It supports saving, streaming, and downloading PDFs with configurable paper size, orientation, and Dompdf options.

## Use cases
- generate pdf invoices from blade views in laravel
- convert html to pdf in a laravel app
- stream a pdf to the browser for download
- save rendered pdf files to disk from laravel
- generate printable reports from html templates
- create pdfs in lumen applications

## When to choose
- you build Laravel or Lumen apps and need PDF generation from HTML/Blade templates
- you want a simple facade API for download, stream, or save operations
- you need configurable paper size, orientation, and Dompdf options

## When to avoid
- you need pixel-perfect complex CSS layout that Dompdf cannot render
- your project is not PHP/Laravel-based
- you need very high-performance or headless-browser-grade PDF rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: pdf, templating
- domain: web-development, pdf, backend
- platform: php
- tags: laravel, dompdf, html-to-pdf, wrapper, invoice-generation
