Title: DOMPDF doesn't work Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # DOMPDF doesn't work * [v1rtual1st](https://wordpress.org/support/users/v1rtual1st/) * (@v1rtual1st) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dompdf-doesnt-work/) * I cannot get DOMPDF to generate PDF. * I have put DOMPDF files into ‘themedir/dompdf/’ * ``` require_once(echo get_template_directory_uri()."/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php"); $html = ''. '

Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '. 'templating system.

'. ''; $dompdf = new DOMPDF(); $dompdf->load_html($html); $dompdf->render(); $dompdf->stream("sample.pdf"); ``` * Any ideas?

While not with “native” support for creating pdfs from html content it does have a plugin for doing so. In our project we saw a considerable improvment in speed over DOMPDF. * [Pioneer Web Design](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swansonphotos/) * (@swansonphotos) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dompdf-doesnt-work/#post-6164361) * This forum supports Core Wordress, and Plugins/Themes found here at the .org repositories. Please consult the non-.org provider(s) for help with the code they have provided. * But, just a quick question. Where have you added your proper version of the code example shown above? In a Page Template?
