How to set the page in landscape mode in mpdf?

Question

I am using mpdf library in PHP to create a pdf file from HTML. I need to set the page mode in landscape mode.

Here is the code I am using :

$mpdf=new mPDF('c'); 

$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
$mpdf->Output();
exit;

However, this is setting the page mode in portrait mode. Any idea, how to set the landscape mode in mpdf ?

Answer 1

You can do that by adding -L to your page format. So in our case you'd add another param to your constructor:

$mpdf = new mPDF('c', 'A4-L'); 

More about mPDF constructor params can be found here(deadlink).

Answer 2

In mPDF version 7.0.0 or later the configuration need to be parsed as array[]:

$myMpdf = new Mpdf([
    'mode' => 'utf-8',
    'format' => 'A4-L',
    'orientation' => 'L'
]

In older version before version 7.0.0. it need to be done like this:

myMpdf = new mPDF(
    '',    // mode - default ''
    'A4-L',    // format - A4, for example, default ''
    0,     // font size - default 0
    '',    // default font family
    15,    // margin_left
    15,    // margin right
    16,    // margin top
    16,    // margin bottom
    9,     // margin header
    9,     // margin footer
    'L'    // L - landscape, P - portrait
);
