This extension "format" HTML responses to PDF files (by default Yii2 includes HTML, JSON and XML formatters). Great for reporting in PDF format using HTML views/layouts.

Usage

Once the extension is installed, modify your application configuration to include:

return [

			'formatters' => [
				'pdf' => [
					'class' => 'robregonm\pdf\PdfResponseFormatter',
				],
			]
		],
		...
	],
];

In the controller:

class MyController extends Controller {
	public function actionPdf(){
		Yii::$app->response->format = 'pdf';
