Note
You first need to install and configure Gotenberg 8.x by yourself.
Install the bundle using composer:
composer require sensiolabs/gotenberg-bundle
If you accept the Symfony Flex recipe during installation:
- The bundle will be automatically registered.
- A configuration skeleton file will be created.
- Docker Compose will be updated with a new gotenberg service.
- The
.env
file will be updated with aGOTENBERG_DSN
value pointing togotenberg:3000
. You can update this value if your Gotenberg instance is hosted elsewhere.
Manually enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in your config/bundles.php
file:
// config/bundles.php
return [
// ...
SensioLabs\GotenbergBundle\SensioLabsGotenbergBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];
Create a configuration and adapt to your needs:
# ./config/packages/sensiolabs_gotenberg.yaml
framework:
http_client:
scoped_clients:
gotenberg.client:
base_uri: 'http://gotenberg:3000'
sensiolabs_gotenberg:
http_client: 'gotenberg.client'
You can generate a PDF locally from URL, HTML, Markdown or any Office files.
After injecting GotenbergPdfInterface
you simply need to call the method url
,
which will return a UrlPdfBuilder
instance.
UrlPdfBuilder
lets you pass the URL of the page you want to convert into PDF
to the method url
.
namespace App\Controller;
use Sensiolabs\GotenbergBundle\GotenbergPdfInterface;
class YourController
{
public function yourControllerMethod(GotenbergPdfInterface $gotenberg): Response
{
return $gotenberg->url()
->url('https://sensiolabs.com/fr/')
->generate()
->stream() // will return directly a stream response
;
}
}
Tip
For more information go to Gotenberg documentations.
Warning
Every Twig template you pass to Gotenberg must have the following structure. Even Header or Footer parts.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>My PDF</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Your code goes here -->
</body>
</html>
namespace App\Controller;
use Sensiolabs\GotenbergBundle\GotenbergPdfInterface;
class YourController
{
public function yourControllerMethod(GotenbergPdfInterface $gotenberg): Response
{
return $gotenberg->html()
->content('twig_simple_pdf.html.twig', [
'my_var' => 'value'
])
->generate()
->stream() // will return directly a stream response
;
}
}
If a template needs to link to a static asset (e.g. an image), this bundle
provides a {{ gotenberg_asset() }}
Twig function to generate the correct
path AND add it to the builder automatically.
This function work as
asset() Twig function and
fetch your assets in the assets
folder of your application.
If your files are in another folder, you can override the default value of assets_directory
in your configuration file config/sensiolabs_gotenberg.yml
. The path provided
can be relative as well as absolute.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title>PDF body</title>
</head>
<body>
<main>
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
<img src="{{ gotenberg_asset('public/img/ceo.jpeg') }}" alt="CEO"/>
<img src="{{ gotenberg_asset('public/img/admin.jpeg') }}" alt="Admin"/>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Tip
For more information go to Gotenberg documentations.
You can generate a screenshot locally from URL, HTML and Markdown.
After injecting GotenbergScreenshotInterface
you simply need to call the
method url
, which will return a UrlScreenshotBuilder
instance.
UrlScreenshotBuilder
lets you pass the URL of the page you want to convert
into screenshot to the method url
.
namespace App\Controller;
use Sensiolabs\GotenbergBundle\GotenbergScreenshotInterface;
class YourController
{
public function yourControllerMethod(GotenbergScreenshotInterface $gotenberg): Response
{
return $gotenberg->url()
->url('https://sensiolabs.com/fr/')
->generate()
->stream()
;
}
}
After injecting GotenbergScreenshotInterface
you simply need to call the method
html
, which will return a HtmlScreenshotBuilder
instance.
HtmlScreenshotBuilder
lets you pass the content of the page you want to convert
into screenshot to the method content
.
namespace App\Controller;
use Sensiolabs\GotenbergBundle\GotenbergScreenshotInterface;
class YourController
{
public function yourControllerMethod(GotenbergScreenshotInterface $gotenberg): Response
{
return $gotenberg->html()

PDF customization (available for HTML, Markdown and Url builder)
Comes with a built-in profiler panel to help you during your development.

This bundle provides classes to assist with testing when using PHPUnit.
My PDF / Screenshot is blank but I have no errors!
It may be because Gotenberg is trying to access an invalid URL (when using the `->url()` or `->route()` modes). For example if Gotenberg tries to access a page on `https://localhost:8001` but the SSL is a local provided one. Then Chromium won't be able to authorize access to the website. To fix this you can update your Gotenberg Docker service as followed:--- a/compose.yaml

URL of your Symfony app is not reachable.
Let's say you are using symfony CLI to run your
