PHP to PDF Converter

About This Tool

This tool provides a server-side PHP to PDF conversion capability focused on developers and data/report teams. It accepts PHP source files or templates that render HTML content, executes or renders the content, and generates a PDF document as the final artifact. The approach relies on a headless rendering path (HTML/CSS to PDF) that preserves layout, fonts, and embedded media while keeping execution isolated from client environments.
Inputs include PHP source or template content, optional data bindings, and rendering options such as page size, margins, font families, and encoding. Outputs are PDFs delivered as binary files or base64-encoded strings, suitable for storage, emailing, or embedding in workflows. The tool also exposes optional assets like embedded fonts and CSS to ensure visual fidelity across environments.
Core features include template-driven data binding, support for HTML and CSS to drive layout, multiple page sizes, margins, and headers/footers, and robust error handling for syntax problems, missing data, or rendering failures. It emphasizes security by avoiding execution of untrusted code in the client and by validating inputs before rendering.
Use cases cover automated reporting pipelines, generated invoices, and documentation packs created from PHP data sources. Its differentiators are server-side isolation, batch processing capability, configurable encoding, and the ability to produce consistent PDFs from templates without requiring browser-based rendering or manual steps.
