A slim PHP wrapper around the wkhtmltopdf (and optionally wkhtmltoimage) command-line tools, exposing a clean OOP interface for creating PDFs and images from HTML files, strings, or URLs. It supports multi-page documents, cover pages, and tables of contents, and can save, send, or return the generated output.

Use cases

• generate pdf from html in php
• convert html string to pdf
• render a url as a pdf report
• create multi-page pdf with cover and table of contents
• convert html to image with wkhtmltoimage
• stream generated pdf to browser for download

When to choose

• you are a PHP developer needing HTML-to-PDF conversion
• you already have wkhtmltopdf installed and want a clean OOP API around it
• you need multi-page PDFs with covers and TOCs
• you want to save, send, or stringify PDF output easily

When to avoid

• you cannot install the wkhtmltopdf binary on your system
• you need pure-PHP PDF generation without external binaries
• you need a maintained renderer for modern CSS/JS, since wkhtmltopdf is no longer actively developed
• you are not working in PHP
