example code issue

[Bhoft]

Hi I wanted to test your pdf formatter and have some issue with your given example code.

https://github.com/robregonm/yii2-pdf#usage

I have added the code into the config.
But whenever i want to overrule some settings in the Controller::actionPdf as given in your example the settings don't change from the original ones.

e.g. if i set the orientation to "Landscape" when in the config the default is "Portrait".

Could it be that your Dependency Injection code doesn't work?

I would have to set it like this so that the settings are changed in the action.

public function actionPdf(){
    Yii::$app->response->format = 'pdf';
    Yii::$app->response->formatters['pdf']['orientation'] = 'Landscape';
    Yii::$app->response->formatters['pdf']['format'] = [216, 356];
    $this->layout = '//print';
    return $this->render('myview', []);
}

Is this correct?

i see that in the past there was also some issue with this code
#10

Is there something wrong with this example or was something change within yii2 since 2015 so that the modifications to the attribute set over the container aren't used?

just to clarify:
I understand that there are changes to the mdf class itself. But my question is more why the changed attributes aren't taken over to when i just echo the orientation inside the class in the format function.

@Bhoft No changes since then. Did you enable pdf in response formatters?

[Bhoft]

Of course i have enabled it. As i have written if i take your example code and change a setting e.g. marginLeft to another value as it is set in the config file (15=>45)

  Yii::$app->response->format = 'pdf';
  Yii::$container->set(Yii::$app->response->formatters['pdf']['class'], [
	 'marginLeft' => 45
  ]);

And check what the value is inside the PdfResponseFormatter class, the margin is still 15 as given in the config.

If i use the following the value is correctly changed.

Yii::$app->response->formatters['pdf']['marginLeft'] = 45;
