i'm using dompdf in laravel version 8+ and i generated a pdf successfully by first loading the view then extracting its content and saving it as a pdf file. there is only 1 table in my view which is loaded by dompdf and it is not fitting in the page.
anyone knows how to fix this?
Look Like you need to update dpi in dompdf config file
Default dpi is 96.Better to change it to "dpi" => 196
From dom pdf config file
/**
* Image DPI setting
*
* This setting determines the default DPI setting for images and fonts. The
* DPI may be overridden for inline images by explictly setting the
* image's width & height style attributes (i.e. if the image's native
* width is 600 pixels and you specify the image's width as 72 points,
* the image will have a DPI of 600 in the rendered PDF. The DPI of
* background images can not be overridden and is controlled entirely
* via this parameter.
*
* For the purposes of DOMPDF, pixels per inch (PPI) = dots per inch (DPI).
* If a size in html is given as px (or without unit as image size),
* this tells the corresponding size in pt.
* This adjusts the relative sizes to be similar to the rendering of the
* html page in a reference browser.
*
* In pdf, always 1 pt = 1/72 inch
*
* Rendering resolution of various browsers in px per inch:
* Windows Firefox and Internet Explorer:
* SystemControl->Display properties->FontResolution: Default:96, largefonts:120, custom:?
* Linux Firefox:
* about:config *resolution: Default:96
* (xorg screen dimension in mm and Desktop font dpi settings are ignored)
*
* Take care about extra font/image zoom factor of browser.
*
* In images, <img> size in pixel attribute, img css style, are overriding
* the real image dimension in px for rendering.
*
* @var int

"dpi" => 96,
