Contao PDF Generation

This allows generating PDF files from regular Contao pages via the mPDF PDF generator.

Usage

First you need to create a PDF generation configuration. If you only need the default settings, the following would suffice for example:

contao_pdf_generation:
    configurations:
        my_pdf_config: ~

Otherwise check the output of config:dump-reference contao_pdf_generation for more options.

Next you will have to select a PDF generation configuration in your Contao page layout. You can find this in the Expert settings tab of your layout under PDF generation configuration. Only pages with a valid PDF generation configuration layout will be able to actually generate a PDF.

Next you will have to create a Generate PDF front end module in your theme. This module will output a form with a submit button that will trigger the PDF generation for the current page. Insert this module then either in your layout, or directly in your content somewhere.
