working with DomPDF

[qcol]

Hi
First of all, thank you for this great plugin.
Is there any way to make the HTML code generated by the editor work with DomPDF? The styles don't work, even when I insert the content of plugin-tiptap-editor-2.5.0.0.css between <style>....</style> in the generated code.

I honestly don't know. I've never used DomPDF.

Should be releasing a version later today though that might help.

The update has not brought any changes. I'm not sure what the reason is. Presumably DomPDF needs full style information to generate the document as I see it on screen.

In most cases there will be a need to print the document created, working with any PDF generator (not necessarily DomPDF). Is there any other tested way to create printouts to look like they do on screen? (grid, tables, fonts, aligns etc.)

In all honesty, after looking at dompdf's readme, it seems really behind the times and lacks a lot of css3 features which have been standard for a long time now.

Personally, I'd probably set up a route and view. Then use the tiptap_converter() helper to output the html in that blade. With that set up you could use Spatie's browser shot package to generate the pdf. Might give better output since it's using puppeteer to load an actual browser rendered page.

Thanks a lot, I will try

I've tried generating a simple blade file as per your suggestion but have no idea why - the styles are not applied to either the grid or the table. What am I doing wrong?

Did you even look at that stylesheet? All those styles are scoped to the editor. You need to create your own stylesheet for front end display.

I looked but compressed so poor readability :) I thought that outside the editor they also format used elements correctly.
OK, so the issue has been resolved. Thank you for your help.
