Use the dompdf library: GitHub link

Dompdf is an HTML to PDF converter. Just download and install it (read the documentation), then pass your HTML in to dompdf and stream the output:

// reference the Dompdf namespace
use Dompdf\Dompdf;

// instantiate and use the dompdf class
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml(file_get_contents('exemple.html'));

// (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');

// Render the HTML as PDF
$dompdf->render();

// Output the generated PDF to Browser
$dompdf->stream();
