How to Generate PDF Programmatically in Magento 2
Magento 2 store admin often want to share their store data. Either be it an invoice to be shared with customer or quote to be shared with the potential visitor! PDF is the preferred format to share the data as it can be easily viewed on any device and it’s highly trusted for security and password protection.
The default Magento methods to generate PDF files are rather inflexible. That’s why I’ve come up with the method to generate PDF programmatically in Magento 2. The method allows to generate PDF displaying any type of the store data, be it grid or invoice or customer data, etc.
Method to generate PDF programmatically in Magento 2:
Implement the below code in your controller action file:

Line number 24 is for getting a reference of the first page,
Put that line wherever you want to get a new page and replace 0 with 1 in ‘ $page = $pdf->pages[0]; ‘
