PDF Generation
To enable PDF Generation in Exponent, you'll need to install a PDF Generation Engine. We currently support four different engines:
- mPDF v5, v6, v7 & v8
- dompdf v6, v7, & v8
- HTML2PDF v4 & v5
- WKHTMLtoPDF
To enable the 'Export to PDF' feature, you'll need to install a PDF Generation Engine and turn on the 'Display Printer-Friendly and Export-to-PDF Links' in a module's configuration settings.
mPDF6 and mPDF
The mPDF engine is the preferred package which can be downloaded from their site or here and installed as an extension (Must be as a Patch) (or use the 'Mod' tab). Or you may download the package and extract in the root folder. mPDF6 is the newest version and provides better output in some cases. Due to the size of mPDF6, we do not provide a copy of the package, so it must be obtained from their site.
dompdf
The dompdf package is customized for Exponent CMS and can be downloaded here and installed as an extension (Must be as a Patch) (or use the 'Mod' tab). Or you may download the package and extract in the root folder.
WKHTMLtoPDF
WKHTMLtoPDF locally, and enter the path to the binary and the temp folder in this tab. WKHTMLtoPDF binaries can be found here.
