I think the issue come from using blade templating. Try to load a self-contained view, that does not use include or extends

@MUSHOOD - can you show me the sample of to load in self-content

Just do this instead in your controller

return view('report.printreport',compact('sales', 'Expenses', 'totalexpenses', 'totalAmount', 'customersaleview', 'totalAmountcustomer'));

If you do a GET request this will output the HTML that will be generated for the PDF as well!

@emfinanga Check this tutorial: https://itsolutionstuff.com/post/laravel-57-generate-pdf-from-html-exampleexample.html

In step 5, see that it outputs a full html doc

@EMFINANGA - try this

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>test</title>

    <style type="text/css">

i tried this code and it dowload the last pdf when i click export button?

why its coming old download file? and not new file pdf

               $pdf = PDF::loadView('report.printreport',compact('sales','Expenses','totalexpenses',
             'totalAmount','customersaleview','totalAmountcustomer',
          'mikopo','totalmikopo','payment','totalpayment'));
// If you want to store the generated pdf to the server then you can use the store function
$pdf->save(storage_path().'_filename.pdf');
// Finally, you can download the file using download function
return $pdf->download('printreport.pdf');

@EMFINANGA - you may have to be validate the pdf file....

i'm use this for download pdf file :

   public function cetak_invoice($id)
    {

        $title = $this->title;
        $transaksi = TransaksiKamar::with('kamar','tamu')->find($id);
        $layanan = TransaksiLayanan::where('transaksi_kamar_id',$transaksi->id)->get();
        $perusahaan = Perusahaan::all();
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('admin.'.$title.'.invoice',compact('title','transaksi','jumlah_hari','layanan','perusahaan'));
         return $pdf->stream();

    }
