I wonder if there is a way to create my own pdf file reader that can add custom style to pdf files. Just like we add custom css to some websites?

I'll change the template of the invoice pdf template in shopware 6.
The template self seems to be stored in the database in the table "document".
The pdf is generated by php.
Anyone knows, how to get a complete own customized template ?
The configuration in the backend is not enough.
Thank you.
I wrote an example Theme some time ago, that is extending the basic template: https://github.com/mnaczenski/SwagDocumentTemplate
The core template is located here:https://github.com/shopware/platform/blob/trunk/src/Core/Framework/Resources/views/documents/base.html.twig
So you can overwrite the file in your own theme like described in the documentation by extending the twig file and placing it in the right folder: https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/plugins/themes/theme-base-guide
Extend in Twig: {% sw_extends '#Framework/documents/base.html.twig' %}
Folder structure: /src/Resources/views/documents/base.html.twig
Generated PDFs are stored in the database due to German law, they can't be changed after generation. But new generated PDFs are based on the template.
The easiest way to customize your invoice templates is to use the WYSIWYG Document Editor. You can either customize an existing document or create a completely new document. Using one of the predefined document templates provides a good starting point for you to apply your customizations. But you can also start with a blank page.
With the visual editor, you can easily add new elements and variables and see your changes in the live preview. This will save you a lot of time in comparison to going back and forth hundreds of times between making adjustments in your Twig Files and generating new PDFs for testing.
Here is a YouTube Video, which shows you how easy and fast you can edit all your documents: https://youtu.be/fGBMDmVMPvA
I am the developer, which created the WYSIWYG Document Editor Shopware 6 App. Feel free to ask me any questions about the App. I am happy to help you.
My requirement is Save HTML Table to PDF with CSS. And download as PDF file. I used jsPDF but not working in IE to convert HTML to PDF along with CSS. If any paid version or free version both will be fine for me.
Canvas approach will create the image of HTML Table and I want to use as original Table.
Appreciate reply!!!
I'm using Pingendo V4 (not-beta).
I assume templates are partly completed pages that I can start with and modify, and that Themes are only selections of shapes, colors that I can use on my own pages. Is that correct?
Can I download a (I assume Bootstrap) theme or template, use it locally and then transfer the files to my web site? How is the download done and them integrated with Pingendo?
Thx.
Templates are completed pages that you can edit and customize to your liking. Themes are sets of customizations. Sometimes themes and templates are made for particular business types, for example pingendo has a app, resteraunt, and fasion templates complete with there coresponding themes. With Pingendo you can download your theme by doing the following: Go to the HTML tab, which gives you the HTML view of your page. Copy and paste that into your own index.html page. Secondly go to the sass view in Pingendo and copy and past it into a custom.sass file that you create. Keep in mind you will want to convert that sass to css, there are free tools that do this online. Depending on your webhost the method of putting them online will be different. Most of the time you will need to FTP your files on to the server, put your html into the main folder may be names something like public_html. Put your css into a folder in the main folder called css, make sure your link to the css in your index.html reflects the file path. Once you have it downloaded there is no need to reintegrate it into Pingendo, the only time you will need to go back there is if you need to make changes. Of course you could always hand code the changes as well.
I am using DOMPDF to create a pdf out of my html page. I need to use a specific template for the pdf to be rendered on.
is there a way with DOMPDF to use a pdf template for dynamically creating an invoice?
What is the best way to handle this? Would I need to create the template with html and css?
If it's worth mentioning, I am using Zend2 and installed DOMPDF with composer
I will recommended to use zend\pdf instead of DOMPDF. First it will bit tough but later on you can get high level performance, even able to create 100 pages at one time.
Invoice generation using Zend Pdf
For your requirement dompdf is not a bad choice but
Noway you can put your template other than using HTML and CSS
Is the only proper way to add a text layer? Can I only render text layer specifically for links in the pdf?
