Configuring the PDF generator path
PDF configuration file: config/Components/Pdf.php
Set the local path or a command to the PDF generator in the $chromiumBinaryPath parameter
/**
* Configuration file: Config\Components\Pdf.
*/
class Pdf
{
/**
* The name or path of the chrome/chromium engine.
*
* @see https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium
*
* @var string
*/
public static $chromiumBinaryPath = 'chromium';
/**
* Chromium browser options available for the browser factory.
*
* @see https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome#available-options
*
* @var array
*/
public static $chromiumBrowserOptions = ['noSandbox' => true, 'noProxyServer' => true];
}
Example $chromiumBinaryPath values:
- chromium
- chromium-browser
- google-chrome
- /usr/bin/google-chrome
- c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
- c:\ungoogled-chromium\chrome.exe
Select the new engine
When the $chromiumBinaryPath path is set correctly and the system has access to the location/command you will see a new engine in the PDF panel.
