PHP: How To Use Snappy (wkhtmltopdf wrapper)

I'm trying to generate a pdf using Snappy. I've already read the documentation at https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy and try the code.

require_once '/KnpLabs/src/autoload.php';

use Knp\Snappy\Pdf;

$snappy = new Pdf('C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf');

// Display the resulting image in the browser
// by setting the Content-type header to jpg
$snappy = new Pdf('C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf');
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.pdf"');
echo $snappy->getOutput('http://localhost/pdfTester/try.php');

when i click a link on try.php, there is a popup to open the pdf file and when i choose to open, a message appears.

Adobe Reader could not open 'file.pdf' because it is either not supported file type or because the file has been damaged

btw i just got one month-old exp with php and i already search for same topic but it looks like cannot help much. Any helps are appreciated.

  • Your path C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf looks like it's pointing to a folder rather than the binary. If your wkhtmltopdf is installed into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf\ the binary would probably be C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf\wkhtmltopdf.exe, maby try pointing to the executable to see if that works?

  • If that doesn't work, what happens when you try to run the command from command line? Does it work then?

    wkhtmltopdf http://localhost/pdfTester/try.php test.pdf
