dompdf Description
dompdf is an HTML to PDF converter. DOMPDF is a HTML-to-PDF converter that conforms to CSS 2.1. It is primarily a PHP-based HTML layout and rendering engine. It is a style-driven rendering engine. It can download and read external stylesheets and inline style tags as well as the style attributes of individual HTML element styles. It supports all presentational HTML attributes. PDF rendering is currently provided by PDFLib or a bundled version the R&OS CPDF Class written by Wayne Munro. The R&OS class has had some important changes. The PDFLib PECL extension must be installed in order to use PDFLib together with dompdf. PDFLib improves performance and reduces memory requirements slightly. The R&OS CPDF class eliminates any dependencies on other PDF libraries, although it is slightly slower. Supports external stylesheets via HTTP/FTP or locally. Supports complex tables including row and column spans, separate and collapsed border models, individual cell styling.

DocRaptor
There are many HTML-to-PDF libraries available for free, including PhantomJS, wkhtmltopdf and Chrome Headless/ Puppeteer. These tools use the Webkit and Chromium rendering engines that are designed to display constantly scrolling webpages. DocRaptor, on the other hand, was designed to generate multi-page documents. This fundamental difference has a huge impact on PDF functionality, such as page breaks and headers and feet, and variable page sizes. Our conversion engine offers layout and styling options, including CSS Paged Media support, that are unmatched by open-source PDF engines. We also offer professional support, instant scaling, and guaranteed reliability as a cloud-based API. This is in addition to the fact that these libraries and their infrastructure are not subject to long-term maintenance.

mPDF
mPDF is a PHP library which generates PDF files using UTF-8 encoded HTML. It is based upon HTML2FPDF and FPDF, but has many enhancements. It runs slower than the original scripts, e.g. HTML2FPDF is slower than the original scripts. However, it produces larger files when using Unicode fonts. It also supports CSS styles and has been greatly enhanced. mPDF is a very old software. There are better alternatives, even though they are not written in PHP. If you are unable to use a non-PHP method to generate PDF files, or if you want to take advantage of some of the advantages of mPDF over a browser approach, such as color handling, preprint, barcodes support and headers and footers, TOCs, TOCs, TOCs, headers, footers, page numbering, TOCs etc. An HTML/CSS template that is specifically designed for mPDF may be required. Headless Chrome is the best choice if you want to use state-of-the art CSS support and mirror existing HTML pages to PDF. mPDF will continue to be updated to improve some internal capabilities and support newer PHP versions.
