LARAVEL 5.7 FPDF - Config file to change orientation of PDF is not working - fpdf

Question

I'm using Laravel 5.7 on my application and I installed codedge/laravel-fpdf to create PDF files. The installation was successful and I was able to generate PDF file with their sample on the documentation:
Fpdf::AddPage();
Fpdf::SetFont('Courier', 'B', 18);
Fpdf::Cell(50, 25, 'Hello World!');
Fpdf::Output();
exit();
However, I want to change the paper size and page orientation. So I run:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Codedge\Fpdf\FpdfServiceProvider" --tag=config
and it generates config file at config/fpdf.php
When I try to change the orientation and size it doesn't work.
'orientation' => 'L',
'unit' => 'mm',
'size' => 'Letter',
What could be the possible reason to this?

Answer 1

I did like below code. It's working. what you have to do, you can create a class to extend FPDF.
Class Name: class.custom.print.php. you can keep file location where you want.
use Codedge\Fpdf\Fpdf\Fpdf;
class customPdf extends Fpdf
{
public function Header()
{
//you can add your own code
}
public function Footer()
{
//you can add your own code
}
}
You can add a function in your Controller.
require_once 'class.custom.print.php';
$objPdf = new customPdf('L', 'mm', 'A4');
$objPdf->SetTitle("Title");
$objPdf->SetAuthor('Author');
$objPdf->AddPage();
$objPdf->AliasNbPages();
ob_start();
$objPdf->Output("Title.pdf", 'I');
ob_flush();
exit;
If you are getting any difficulties, please let me know.
