Installare TCPDF con Composer
composer require tecnickcom/tcpdf
Nel controller, includere il component RequestHandler e creare un’action per la stampa del PDF
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');
}
public getPdf index()
{
$this->viewBuilder()->setLayout('ajax');
$this->RequestHandler->respondAs('pdf', [
// Decommentare per forzare il download
//'attachment' => true,
'charset' => 'UTF-8'
]);
}
Nel template si può inserire un esempio proposto da TCPDF, senza includere il comando “
require_once('tcpdf_include.php');
