Please hep me

@ajitbohra There is no "mpdf.php" file in attachment. also there we try to download from https://github.com/mpdf/mpdf but here mpdf .php related to other folder.

It works like a charm. You can download it from http://www.mpdfonline.com/repos/MPDF_5_7.zip. And extract it within ur project. Then You can use this code for better functionality.Please let me know if any issues arrive. ([email protected])
