Get half of A4 Size
Good day everyone, Please I would like to ask if there is any tutorial I can watch or go through in other for me to achieve my desired paper size. I Am currently using dompdf to print out receipt for customer in my Laravel project. But the current paper size is A4. I would like to get the paper to be half of A4 size. How can I adjust this from my code.?
->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');
Thanks for your assistance.

Good evening. I did tryA5 landscape but the printing doesn't print nice on the paper. The preview was accurate on system but the printing was sideways instead of landscape.

Here is my code From pDFSupport Helper file I have this
public function get_paper_size()
{
switch (paperSize())
{
case 'A4_half' :
$size = 'A5';
$mode = 'landscape';
break;
case 'A4' :
$size = "A4"; //0, 0, 595.28, 841.89
$mode = "portrait";
break;
}
return (['size' => $size, 'mode' => $mode]);
}
from Invoice Support
public function get_invoice_pdf($data){
$invoice = $data;
$title = $this->PDFSupport->page_title();
$path = "Template_".TEMPLATE().'.'.paperSize();
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf::'.$path.'.Invoices.'.$this->PDFSupport->title(), compact('invoice', 'title'))
// ->setPaper($this->PDFSupport->get_paper_size(), 'portrait');
->setPaper( $this->PDFSupport->get_paper_size()['size'], $this->PDFSupport->get_paper_size()['mode']);
return $pdf;
}
The issue now is that whenever I made attempt to print the A5 landscape. It will rotate 180 deg on screen and print same way on the paper instead of printing same landscape mode to fit the half of A4 paper.

What if you keep $mode as 'portrait' when using A4_half?

@NoLAstNamE I Have just shared my code. It prints on 2 pages of the paper.

My solution: Use css style in blade
@page {
size: A4 landscape;
margin: 10px;
}
and separate page in 2 block with 45% width each
