    In order to convert HTML data into a pdf file here are the followings steps you need to follow:

    Step 1: Download the DOMPDF file from Github. here is the link

    or you can download from the zip attached at the end of this post

    Step2: After downloading DOMPDF library put it into the app/vendors directory. Make sure the library folder name is dompdf.

    Step:3 In you Controller create a function that will use the DOMPDF library.

    public function htmltopdf(){
        App::import('Vendor', 'dompdf', array('file' => 'dompdf' . DS . 'dompdf_config.inc.php'));

        $html =
        '<html><body>'.
        '<p>Put your html here, or generate it with your favourite '.
        'templating system.</p>'.
        '</body></html>';
