Configuration
Dompdf allows you to configure a bunch of things on your PDF file. In previous versions we used to accomplish this through environment vars, now you can change this configuration keys on the fly:
Route::get('/pdf/view', function() {
$html = view('pdfs.example')->render();
$defaultOptions = PDF::getOptions();
$defaultOptions->setDefaultFont('Courier');
return PDF::setOptions($defaultOptions)->load($html)->download();
});
