v3.20 PDF takes lot of time to convert Html to PDF - Page 1

Hi,
I'm using html2pdf for creating a PDF report of 18-20
pages my html is embeded with data from DB and Images( 10 - 20 images ).
But the pdf generation takes like 2+ mins.Is there any way to decrease the time.
This is my code:
<?php

$user_id = "";
if ( !empty( $_SESSION['user']['usr_profile_id'] ) ) {
$user_id = $_SESSION['user']['usr_profile_id'];

} else {
$user_id = $_SESSION['uid'];
}

$path1 = "reports";

if ( !file_exists($path1) ) {
print "1".$path1."<br>";

mkdir($path1,0777);
}
$path2 = "reports/$user_id";
if ( !file_exists($path2) ) {

mkdir($path2,0777);
}


ob_start();

set_time_limit(0);

//ini_set('display_errors',1);

include("report/1_cover.html");

$content = ob_get_clean();
require_once('vendors/html2pdf.class.php');

$html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('P','A4','en');

$html2pdf->setTestTdInOnePage(false);

$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();

include("report/2_letter.html");

$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();

include("report/3_form1.html");

$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();

include("report/4_form2.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();

include("report/5_form3.html");

$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();
include("report/6_form4.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();
include("report/7_form5.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();
include("report/8_form6.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();
include("report/9_summary.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));


ob_start();
include("report/addendum.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));


ob_start();
include("report/10_images.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));

ob_start();

include("report/11_plans.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));



ob_start();

include("report/12_location_map.html");

$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content,isset($_GET['vuehtml']));


$file=$_SESSION['fileNumber'];
$file_name = "Report_$file.pdf";


$html2pdf->Output("$path2/$file_name",'F');






$server= $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$domain = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

$server_url = "http://".$domain.str_replace( "index.php","$path2/$file_name",$server);

header("Location:$server_url");
?>

I'm not sure this technique is a fast way to achieve you goal:

ob_start();
include("report/11_plans.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();

Do you really need to interpret php instructions in these files or is file_get_contents sufficient to get what's in your files?

why you don't do this ?

require_once('vendors/html2pdf.class.php');
$html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('P','A4','en');
$html2pdf->setTestTdInOnePage(false);

ob_start();
include("report/1_cover.html");
include("report/2_letter.html");
include("report/3_form1.html");
include("report/4_form2.html");
include("report/5_form3.html");
include("report/6_form4.html");
include("report/7_form5.html");
include("report/8_form6.html");
include("report/9_summary.html");
include("report/addendum.html");
include("report/10_images.html");
include("report/11_plans.html");
include("report/12_location_map.html");
$content = ob_get_clean();
$html2pdf->WriteHTML($content);


$file=$_SESSION['fileNumber'];
$file_name = "Report_$file.pdf";
	
	
$html2pdf->Output("$path2/$file_name",'F');

put tables in tables take very long time, try to not do this, if the embed table is very big !

it will not solve your problem, but if your .html files only contain HTML code you should avoid using "include" and try "readfile" instead ("include" parses the entire file and searches for PHP tags, in your case this is just a waste of time)

Hi Sir,

I have implemented the solutions and was implemented the solutions you suggested and it helped
me to reduce time from 2+ mins to 1+ mins nearly ( 50 .

Thanks for the tips.

Is there anyother ways to further optimize this? ( say under 1 min ).
