README

PDF export for fissible/transmark: PdfWriter composes HtmlWriter output with dompdf/dompdf (pure-PHP, LGPL-2.1) to produce PDF bytes — no system binaries, no ext-gd.

Why a separate package?

fissible/transmark stays dependency-free at its core. A consumer who only needs DOCX → HTML never pays for a PDF rendering engine. A consumer who wants DOCX → HTML → PDF requires this one package — fissible/transmark and dompdf/dompdf both come along transitively via Composer, so there's one composer require, not two separate integrations to wire up by hand.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• ext-dom, ext-mbstring

Installation

composer require fissible/transmark-pdf

Usage

use Fissible\Transmark\Pdf\PdfWriter;
use Fissible\Transmark\Readers\DocxReader;

$docxBytes = file_get_contents('agreement.docx');
$document = (new DocxReader())->read($docxBytes);

$pdfBytes = (new PdfWriter())->write($document);

file_put_contents('agreement.pdf', $pdfBytes);

PdfWriter implements Fissible\Transmark\Contracts\WriterInterface, the same contract HtmlWriter, DocxWriter, and MarkdownWriter implement — it's a drop-in alongside any other transmark writer.

Paper size and orientation

$writer = new PdfWriter(paperSize: 'A4', paperOrientation: 'landscape');

Accepts any paper size/orientation string dompdf's setPaper() supports.

Note: PdfWriter does not validate paperSize/paperOrientation. An invalid value (e.g. paperSize: 'not-a-size') does not throw — dompdf silently falls back to letter/portrait. Pass values dompdf recognizes.
