PHP library allowing thumbnail, snapshot or PDF generation from an URL
Snappy is a PHP library allowing thumbnail, snapshot or PDF generation from a url or a html page. It uses the excellent WebKit-based wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage available on OSX, Linux, Windows. You will have to download wkhtmltopdf 0.12.x in order to use Snappy.
...Because it relies on wkhtmltopdf, it supports complex HTML and CSS (including many types of fonts, layouts, and images) much better than many pure-PHP solutions. It’s commonly used for invoices, reports, tickets, labels, and any other server-side generated documents where consistent layout matters. The package is widely used in the Laravel ecosystem and has community documentation, tutorials, and integrations with other tools and CMSs based on Laravel.

It is slower than the original scripts e.g. HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but support for CSS styles etc. and has been much enhanced.
