A simple PDF is easily generated from a blade view when you only have simple HTML code and nothing that has to be imported.
However, if I add the href attribute to external locations, the snappyPDF simply doesn't work.
I am using Laravel 8 Jestream.
Here is part of my blade file:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="es">
<head>
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Sorts+Mill+Goudy&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport"
content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Certificate</title>
<style media="screen">
body {
font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy', serif;
text-align:center;
background-image: url("https://images.pexels.com/photos/242236/pexels-photo-242236.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
width:816px;
height:1056px;
border: 10px solid #e6e6e6
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="some">
<div class="other">
<img class="logo" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/1337386/pexels-photo-1337386.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260" alt="Logo">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The problem, as far as I can see, shows up when I add src="https external" or url(https//external)
When I try to generate the PDF via Snappy, the pdf just can't get generated.
How do I fix this? What am I missing to make the Snappy PDF work?
You need to enable option for external links support.
OR
There is another package available with more configuration like Laravel Dompdf. You can able to add external links with "enable_remote = true" config.
