Creating the PDF from local HTML file.... Note that we customize the headers and footers!<br />

require_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/../HTML_ToPDF.php';
// Full path to the file to be converted
$htmlFile = dirname(__FILE__) . '/test.html';

Creating the PDF from remote web page...<br />

// change this to your own domain

$pdfFile = dirname(__FILE__) . '/test2.pdf';
// Remove old one, just to make sure we are making it afresh
@unlink($pdfFile);
$pdf = new HTML_ToPDF($htmlFile, $defaultDomain, $pdfFile);
// Set that we do not want to use the page's css
$pdf->setUseCSS(false);
// Give it our own css, in this case it will make it so
// the lines are double spaced
$pdf->setAdditionalCSS('
p {
line-height: 1.8em;
font-size: 12pt;
}');
// We want to underline links
$pdf->setUnderlineLinks(true);
// Scale the page down slightly
$pdf->setScaleFactor('.9');
// Make the page black and light
