Answer 1

What do you want to do with pdf ? To show in browser or to download to disc? this is example where pdf is downloaded

return $pdf->download('pdfName.pdf'); 

example from my code where i show notebook information in pdf

   $laptop = Notebook::findOrFail($id);
        $data['laptop'] = $laptop;
        $pdf = \PDF::loadView('pdf.detaljiLaptop', $data);

        return $pdf->download($laptop->modelName.' Computers.pdf');
