li3_pdf brings PDF support to Lithium using the http://www.tcpdf.org library.
- Third Release: li3_pdf is now using a vanilla upstream TCPDF. No more hacking of the library required. Big thanks to Nate Abele.
- Second Release: li3_pdf is a Helper, renderer is deprecated.
- First Release: li3_pdf is a View renderer/loader based on File.

?>Add the following to app/config/bootstrap/media.php
Media::type('pdf', 'application/pdf', array());Lithium will now automatically serve PDF if a request looks like the following: http://app/controller/action/id.pdf
$view = new View(array(
'paths' => array(
'template' => '{:library}/views/{:controller}/{:template}.{:type}.php',
'layout' => '{:library}/views/layouts/{:layout}.{:type}.php',
)
));
echo $view->render(
'all',
array('content' => compact('offer','venue')),
array(
'controller' => 'offers',
'template'=>'view',
'type' => 'pdf',
'layout' =>'offers'
)
);
