dompdf is an HTML to PDF converter. At its core, dompdf is a (mostly) CSS 2.1 compliant HTML layout and rendering engine written in PHP. It is a style-driven renderer that downloads and reads external style sheets, inline style tags, and style attributes of individual HTML elements. It also supports most expressive HTML attributes. PDF rendering is currently provided by PDFLib or a bundled version of the R&OS CPDF class written by Wayne Munro. (There are some important changes to the R&OS classes, however). In order to use dompdf with PDFLib, the PDFLib PECL extension needs to be installed. Using PDFLib improves the performance of dompdf and reduces memory requirements, while the R&OS CPDF class, although slightly slower, eliminates dependence on external PDF libraries.

Best practices and common problem solving for image embedding in Laravel Dompdf PDF generation

30 Nov 2025

This article aims to solve the problem that images cannot be displayed correctly when Laravel Dompdf generates PDF. The traditional use of public_path() to reference the image path often fails in the Dompdf environment. This tutorial will introduce in detail how to Base64 encode the image content and embed it directly into the HTML tag to ensure that the image is displayed stably and reliably in the generated PDF file. This method works in Laravel 8 and above and is an effective strategy for handling this type of image embedding challenge.

Optimize Dompdf to generate a large number of PDFs in batches: Solve Web request timeouts and performance bottlenecks

01 Dec 2025

This article provides a set of professional solutions to the Web request timeout problem encountered by Dompdf when generating a large number of PDFs in batches. The core idea is to separate the time-consuming and resource-intensive PDF generation task from the Web server request and transfer it to a PHP command line script or background task for execution, thereby circumventing the execution time limit of the Web server, improving system stability and user experience, and providing detailed guidance on how to implement this process.
