pdf page margins with snappy and symfony2

Question

I am trying to develop a web page that will generate a pdf. I was wondering if there is a way to customize the page margins of the pdf using KnpSnappyBundle for symfony2. I did a cursory search for this and couldn't find any information. Any information is greatly appreciated.

You can pass options as the second argument of each generating method :

$snappy = $this->get('knp_snappy.pdf');
$options = [
    'margin-top'    => 50,
    'margin-right'  => 50,
    'margin-bottom' => 50,
    'margin-left'   => 50,
];

$snappy->getOutputFromHtml($html, $options);

Or use setOption :

foreach ($options as $margin => $value) {
    $snappy->setOption($margin, $value);
}

$snappy->getOutputFromHtml($html, $options);

See the whole knp_snappy.pdf class and available wkhtmltopdf options.

Note that if you are generating PDF from HTML, you should try to use CSS for your margins before use wkhtmltopdf options.
