Usage

You can create PDF from HTML using this code:

{% set html %}
    <h1>This is a basic example</h1>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod.</p>
{% endset %}

{% set settings = {
    filename: "My_PDF",
} %}

{{ craft.superpdf.html(html, settings) }}

You can create PDF from template using this code:

{% set settings = {
    filename: "My_PDF",
} %}

{% set vars = {
    entry : entry,
    data : data
} %}

{{ craft.superpdf.template("template/_pdf_template", settings, vars) }}

You can also create PDF and instead of preview it, show a URL to visit / download:

{% set settings = {
    filename: "My_PDF",
    type: 'object',
} %}

{% set vars = {
    entry : entry,
    data : data
} %}

{% set object = craft.superpdf.template("template/_pdf_template", settings, vars) %}

// Default echo object will return URL
{{ object }}

{{ object.url }}
{{ object.getUrl() }}

{{ object.path }}
{{ object.getPath() }}

{{ object.filename }}
{{ object.getFilename() }}

{{ object.kind }}
{{ object.size }}
{{ object.dateModified|date("m/d/Y H:i:s") }}

// Returns craft assets element. Only if PDF is stored in craft assets volumes instead of storage folder.
{{ object.asset }}
{{ object.getAsset() }}
