Install Fresh 12 Project
For installing dompdf in laravel 12 project we will install fresh laravel 12 empty project. You can also use inside your existing laravel 9,10,11 project also.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel12-dompdf 12.* cd laravel12-dompdf
Install Necessary barryvdh/laravel-dompdf Composer Package
We will now install required barryvdh/laravel-dompdf php composer package. This package will help us to create pdf file from our application. For installing we will use below command as well
composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider"
Declare Routes
We will now declare routes and add necessary code for generating pdf file. Here we have not used any controller. You can copy and change your code accordingly for using inside controller
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade\Pdf;
Route::get('/generate-pdf', function () {
$data = [
'title' => 'Laravel Dompdf File',
'content' => 'This is a sample PDF generated Laravel Dompdf from programmingmindset.com'
];
$pdf = Pdf::loadView('pdf.sample', $data);
return $pdf->stream('sample.pdf'); //this will load pdf in browser
});To download directly after hitting the route, you can call download method
Route::get('/generate-pdf', function () {
$data = [
'title' => 'Laravel Dompdf File',
'content' => 'This is a sample PDF generated Laravel Dompdf from programmingmindset.com'
];
$pdf = Pdf::loadView('pdf.sample', $data);
return $pdf->download('sample.pdf');
});Add Blade File
As we will generate pdf file from our existing blade file, so we will have to create a blade file. Let's create a blade at resources/views/pdf/sample.blade.php
We have used dummy text inside blade file. You should change it according to need and also you can pass variable from loadView method
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ $title }}</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
.container {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>{{ $title }}</h1>
<p>{{ $content }}</p>
</div>
<div class="text-content">
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's
standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a
type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting,
remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing
Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of
Lorem Ipsum.

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will
give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the
master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but
because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.
Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because
occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial
example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who
