Have you tried the codedge/laravel-fpdf package?

Install it through Composer: 

composer require codedge/laravel-fpdf

Publish the config file and edit it as needed: 

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Codedge\Fpdf\FpdfServiceProvider" --tag=config

Add package's service provider and alias to your config/app.php file: 

return [
    //...

    'providers' => [
        // ...
        Codedge\Fpdf\FpdfServiceProvider::class,
    ],

    // ...

    'aliases' => [
         // ...
        'Fpdf' => Codedge\Fpdf\Facades\Fpdf::class,
    ]
]

Test it: 

Route::get('/', function () {
    Fpdf::AddPage();
    Fpdf::SetFont('Courier', 'B', 18);
    Fpdf::Cell(50, 25, 'Hello World!');
    Fpdf::Output();
});

Hit your app root in browser and see if it generates a PDF file as expected.
