I am looking to create an html page with data from a database, then I will convert it from the html to PDF module.

Thank you

Hi Kryo,

Which HTML to PDF are you using?

There is:

MODULE: Generate PDF from EJS Template with Puppeteer

First and foremost, a lot of credit has to go to @sid. Their module for HTML to PDF was the basis of this one. SO WHY CREATE ANOTHER PDF MODULE? The reasoning here was to make it easier to generate a bank of EJS templates that you could visually build, add JSON data to, and dynamically generate the resulting HTML. My first thought, when using @sid’s module was to plug my routes into Puppeteer, however, along with this came the problems of security enforcers forcing Puppeteer to login in (which…

Wappler does not have a read file component yet.
So you will probably have to either create a custom module of your own to read a file into a variable.
Or, you can change the approach and go with the way Michael is using HTML to PDF as linked above.

I don’t use nodejs

[mikkime23]

Yeah, that’s my module. Unfortunately, I haven’t touched since my Wordpress days and mainly work with JS now, so I don’t have a PHP style version for my version.

If you’re comfortable to create your own module, there’s plenty of documentation here - plus you get the benefit of customising it to the way you need.

Sorry I can’t help mate.

Anyway, thank you for your time.

In the custom module, you can pass the file path in HTML input, and then in the custom module’s JS file, write some PHP code to read the HTML file and pass to mPDF.
