you can just use datatables buttons if your data to download is displayed on a table.

want to create a pdf from the webpage created using dompdf
I have a webpage from where i want to transfer it to a pdf .But the issue is in my controller when i try to download it ,It says undefined variable which is the variable that was passed from another controller to the view so that the webpage gets generated.How will i access this variable or is there any other method. My Controller :
public function pdfview(Request $request)
{
if($request->has('download'))
{
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdffileview');
return $pdf->download('pdfview.pdf');
}
}
This is how i passed from my view:
<a href="{{ route('pdfview',['download'=>'pdf']) }}">Download PDF report</a>
Plz have a look.Thanks in advance

Actually a have a web UI which i want to download as a pdf ,once the user presses the download button.But pdf is not getting generated from the html. I am not able to render it via my controller,for which the code is shown above.Plz let me know where am i getting wrong.The error is undefined variable.I think this is causing because i have used another controller function to generate those variables.

$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdffileview',compact('new_records'));
