Using page-break-inside: auto; basically says to dompdf "do what you would normally do when breaking pages." To force a page break before/after your table you would use page-break-before: always; / page-break-after: always; . To ask dompdf to avoid breaking inside an element you would use page-break-inside: avoid; .
By default it's going to render on 'US Letter', you can change this by using: $dompdf->set_paper(DEFAULT_PDF_PAPER_SIZE, 'portrait'); You can use 'letter', 'legal', 'A4', etc.. With dompdf 0.6 you can also use the CSS @page rule to set your page size/orientation.
// EXAMPLE TAKEN FROM https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf // reference the Dompdf namespace use Dompdf\Dompdf; // instantiate and use the dompdf class $dompdf = new Dompdf(); $dompdf->loadHtml('hello world'); // (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation $dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape'); // Render the HTML as PDF ...
Whether a PDF is downloaded or viewed in the browser depends on a couple of factors. One is your browser settings, but we have no control there. The second is how dompdf present the PDF to the browser. You can tell dompdf to offer the PDF for direct viewing using $dompdf->stream('my.pdf',array('Attachment'=>0));.
As far as opening in a new tab. That depends on how you are generating the PDF. But the simplest way it to provide a link with a target attribute.
