I am trying to create a pdf of a web page with tcpdf. But it's not working. The page is a php with external css and javascript files.
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks,

To include external CSS file, you can do as below before you add your HTML content
$html .= '<style>'.file_get_contents(_BASE_PATH.'stylesheet.css').'</style>';
By this, while you pass $html to generate pdf it will include those styles.
As far I am aware, there is no need for including Javascript into a PDF. The purpose of a PDF is to display a non-interactive static content, which can be achieved by HTML and CSS

which version of tcpdf did you test it with?
Rob
Note that this appends the style sheet to the HTML. You should prepend it by using..
$html = '<style>'.file_get_contents(_BASE_PATH.'stylesheet.css').'</style>' . $html;Annapurna
Doesn't work for me. The css file contents are appended, but not implemented. Is there any other work around?
public byte[] GetPDF(string pHTML)
{
byte[] bPDF = null;
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
TextReader txtReader = new StringReader(pHTML);
// 1: create object of a itextsharp document class
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 25, 25, 25, 25);
// 2: we create a itextsharp pdfwriter that listens to the document and directs a XML-stream to a file
PdfWriter oPdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, ms);
// 3: we create a worker parse the document
HTMLWorker htmlWorker = new HTMLWorker(doc);
// 4: we open document and start the worker on the document
doc.Open();
htmlWorker.StartDocument();
// 5: parse the html into the document
htmlWorker.Parse(txtReader);
// 6: close the document and the worker
htmlWorker.EndDocument();
htmlWorker.Close();
doc.Close();
bPDF = ms.ToArray();
return bPDF;
}
