Answer 1

This can be done like this. It worked fine for me. And also set the directory permissions to 777 or 775 if not set.

ob_clean();
$mpdf->Output('directory_name/pdf_file_name.pdf', 'F');

Answer 2

The Go trough this link state that the first argument of Output() is the file path, second is the saving mode - you need to set it to 'F'.

 $upload_dir = public_path(); 
             $filename = $upload_dir.'/testing7.pdf'; 
              $mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();
              //$test = $mpdf->Image($pro_image, 0, 0, 50, 50);

              $html ='<h1> Project Heading </h1>';
              $mail = ' <p> Project Heading </p> ';
              
              $mpdf->autoScriptToLang = true;
              $mpdf->autoLangToFont = true;
              $mpdf->WriteHTML($mail);

              $mpdf->Output($filename,'F'); 
              $mpdf->debug = true;

Example :

 $mpdf->Output($filename,'F');

Example #2

$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();
$mpdf->WriteHTML('Hello World');

// Saves file on the server as 'filename.pdf'
$mpdf->Output('filename.pdf', \Mpdf\Output\Destination::FILE);

Answer 3

Try this:

$mpdf->Output('my_filename.pdf','D'); 

because:

D - means Download
F - means File-save only

Answer 4

The mPDF docs state that the first argument of Output() is the file path, second is the saving mode - you need to set it to 'F'.

$mpdf->Output('filename.pdf','F');
