Do you mean that the js should work inside the pdf so it's interactive? Or just edit the html before the pdf is generated

@zache09 I so myself to generate graphs. I use wkhtml myself but see no reason it shouldn't work
It's even enabled by default https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf/blob/master/src/Options.php#L213
Just be sure the js is fast and does what it needs to instantly
Maybe you can show the js?

@zache09 I would think that to be possible yes. Check that your your js runs at all by doing something else, like add a red background
And be sure it's on the page and not in a separate js file

@zache09 show the code please. Did you add all of jquery in a script tag?

If you don't want to inline all of your js, perhaps consider switching to browsershot
Level 102
@zache09 if you rewrite it to plain js it should work. Dompdf ignores the jquery script tag as it's external
Level 102
@zache09 no. You would need to manually add all of jquery to a script tag on the page

@zache09 that might take some research. Did you try my suggestion with browsershot? It should just work

@zache09 DomPDF does have some JavaScript limitations. You can try the alternative:
https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-snappy (it needs wkhtmltopdf to be setup)
Or, as Sinnbeck suggested, https://github.com/spatie/browsershot (it needs puppeteer to be setup)
