// Save to Laravel storage disk
Pdf::view('pdf.invoice', $data)->store('invoices/invoice.pdf', 's3');

// Get raw PDF content
$content = Pdf::view('pdf.invoice', $data)->output();

Page Settings

Pdf::view('pdf.invoice', $data)
    ->format('A4')              // A4, A3, Letter, Legal, Tabloid
    ->orientation('portrait')   // portrait, landscape
    ->landscape()               // Shorthand for landscape
    ->portrait()                // Shorthand for portrait
    ->margins(10, 10, 10, 10)   // top, right, bottom, left (mm)
    ->margin(15)                // Uniform margins (mm)

GeneratePdf::dispatch(
    view: 'pdf.invoice',
    data: ['order' => $order],
    path: "invoices/order-{$order->id}.pdf",
    disk: 's3'  // optional, defaults to config value
);

Styling Tips

Using Tailwind CSS

Include Tailwind via CDN in your Blade template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
</head>
<body class="p-8">
    <h1 class="text-2xl font-bold">Invoice</h1>
    <!-- Your content -->
</body>
</html>

Page Breaks

<!-- Force page break before element -->
<div style="page-break-before: always;">New Page</div>

<!-- Prevent element from breaking across pages -->
<div style="page-break-inside: avoid;">Keep together</div>

Print-Specific Styles

@media print {
    .no-print { display: none; }
    .print-only { display: block; }
}
