`li3_pdf` is a simple way of generating PDF from an HTML input. We first started with **DOM PDF** but that one was very slow so **wkthmltopdf** was added and is recommanded.

1. 1. Installation

Put `li3_pdf` into your `libraries` directory.

1. 1. Backends

Two backends exist:

 - [DOM PDF](http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/)
 - [wkthml to pdf](https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/)

1. 1. 1. DOM PDF

DOMPDF works entirely in PHP but is slow and have a limited support of CSS.

You can put it along-side `li3_pdf`.

1. 1. 1. Wkhtmltopdf

wkhtmltopdf relies on a binary executable that renders the HTML using the [Webkit](http://webkit.org/) and Qt. It's fast and reliable.

The bin `wkhtmltopdf` should be in the current path.

1. 1. Configuration
   2. Usage
   3. Media

You can also rely on the `Media::type` to generate PDF. Check the `media.php` file into `li3_pdf/config/bootstrap`.
