Hallo Zusammen 😉

&nbsp;

Ich bin immer noch dran ein PDF Plugin zu schreiben was bisher auch soweit klappt (zumindest kann ich mir ein leeres PDF anzeigen lassen) Jetzt steh ich vor der Frage kann man ein Smarty Template einbinden&nbsp;aus dem dann ein PDF generiert wird? oder ist das nicht möglich?&nbsp;

Danke schonmal!&nbsp;

Grüße Lukas&nbsp;

Pdf files using mpdf (used by Shopware) [https://mpdf.github.io/](https://mpdf.github.io/)

I use this:

```
 $Header = Shopware()-\>Template()-\>fetch($plugin-\>getPath() . '/Resources/views/frontend/export2pdf/header.tpl'); $Footer = Shopware()-\>Template()-\>fetch($plugin-\>getPath() . '/Resources/views/frontend/export2pdf/footer.tpl');

```

To include .tpl files into my generated pdf.   
In the .tpl files I use generic html.

Thanks for your answer.

I tryed it like you did. but it alway redirects me to my homepage. when i leave it it prints me an empty pdf page.&nbsp;

i did it like that:

```
public function indexAction ()
    {

        $Header = Shopware()->Template()->fetch(getPath() . '/Resources/views/frontend/questions/index.tpl');
        
        $mpdf = new \Mpdf(['mode' => 'utf-8']);
        
        $mpdf->WriteHTML($Header);

        $mpdf->Output();

        die($mpdf);
    }

```

What am i doing wrong?&nbsp;
