mPDF outputs raw CSS #221

Closed JDittmerCOM closed 1 year ago

JDittmerCOM commented 1 year ago

I use mpdf to generate PDF because this is the best generator for me. However, if I want to output the HTML version, it shows me the pure CSS code. Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

There is no official mPDF support provided by this libary.

But maybe what you can find in this abandoned pull request will help? https://github.com/sprain/php-swiss-qr-bill/pull/115

When I try like in the old issue I only get the following message in VSC.

Undefined type 'Sprain\SwissQrBill\PaymentPart\Output\MpdfOutput\MpdfOutput'.

Yes, this is expected, as it is an abandoned pull request that was never merged. I thought, maybe you'd find some idea or inspiration there that would help you.

There is no finished solution for using mPDF with this library, and unfortunately I personally will not be able to help you out here. Maybe somebody else who stumbles upon this issue will be able to do so.

The problem is simply that there is no solution to it. With the other PDF plugins there were always problems with the header and footer and HTML. Now I just have the problem here between Mpdf and your plugin.

Just don't understand why there must always be problems with the simplest CSS.

That the pure CSS is not displayed can be checked with $mpdf->WriteHTML($html); solve without the second parameter at mpdf.

On the other hand, I have now been able to solve it with NPM and Puppeteer. Where I send the HTML content to my service port I get a Base64 URL back as a result and then include the image in the PDF.

But thanks for the replies here.
