Laravel Cashier Invoice: A4 format
Hi, how can i change the paper format of an invoice generated by Cashier to A4?
I found the following relevant code in the Cashier package but I can't figure out, how I am supposed to do customizations with it:
public function pdf(array $data)
{
if (! defined('DOMPDF_ENABLE_AUTOLOAD')) {
define('DOMPDF_ENABLE_AUTOLOAD', false);
}
if (file_exists($configPath = base_path().'/vendor/dompdf/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php')) {
require_once $configPath;
}
$dompdf = new Dompdf;
$dompdf->loadHtml($this->view($data)->render());
$dompdf->render();
return $dompdf->output();
}
Thanks very much in advance for any help, Simon

Yes, of course, that is an obvious solution, but is there a way to do it without changing the Cashier code?

Isn't there any configuration file available to edit?
Level 2
Well, I don't know for sure. I haven't found anything in the docs and the referenced
$configPath = base_path().'/vendor/dompdf/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php'file doesn't exist. (and I don't know how it could be used to change the paper format even if I created it.)

Same Problem. Did you found any solution?
Level 1
I made a provisional workaround. I've created a class that extends Laravel\Cashier\Invoice and overrides the function pdf(array $data). In the controller, I use $model->findInvoiceOrFail($invoice_id) instead of $model->downloadInvoice($invoice_id, array $data). I then cast the returned instance to my custom class and then call download(). This is far from optimal, but works for now.
I would be very happy if someone could give me a better solution.

I've created a PR. You can now set the paper size in the config file:
