First we have to create project in htdocs Ex: pdfcreator

Then go inside the project

Then we have to install composer

$ composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf

Now serve the page to browser

php artisan serve

Then page is opening successfully

Then go to your texteditor and go to C:\xampp\htdocs\pdfcreator\config\app.php

And write this in

‘providers’ =>

Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class,

And write this in

‘aliases’ =>

‘PDF’ => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade::class,

Now we have to make Controller

php artisan make:controller PDFController

And write this code

	<?php
	namespace App\Http\Controllers;
	use Illuminate\Http\Request;
	use PDF;
	class PDFController extends Controller
	{
	public function show(){
	return view('page');
	}
	public function generatePDF(){
	$data =[
	'title' => 'Welcome TO PDF Page',
	'date' => date('m/d/y')
	];
	$pdf = PDF::loadView('index', $data);
	return $pdf->download('First.pdf');
	}
	}

Now we make route

	<?php
	use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
	use App\Http\Controllers\PDFController;
	/*
	\|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	\| Web Routes
	\|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	\|
	\| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
	\| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
	\| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
	\|
	*/
	Route::get('/', function () {
	return view('welcome');
	});
	Route::get('/show',[PDFController::class, 'show']);
	Route::get('/generate-pdf',[PDFController::class, 'generatePDF']);
