Intro to DOMPDF - lightest and simplest PHP library to generate PDF documents
Generating PDF documents out of your app's HTML output is a very common requirement and there are several open source libraries to accomplish this. I came across this need for my project recently and I evaluated many popular ones such as TCPDF, mpdf, FPDF, etc. But the one that truly stood up to my evaluation in terms of efficiency (minimal footprint) and ease of implementation was DOMPDF.

Writing a piece of code for a problem that has already being solved, tested and approved by other developers slows down the development of an application by a huge amount of time.

Playwright: Automate Chromium, WebKit and Firefox
For PHP-based applications I've used mPDF[0], which generates PDFs from HTML without using a browser. I'm sure it can't handle all the CSS bells/whistles that a "modern" website uses, but it's worked well for me.

Reading accents in doc files

Laravel development & production ready Docker build - help needed
I'd use PHPWord then, but, if it's not enough, surely go ahead and have a headless libreoffice server like here. You can probably set up your own dockerfile following the examples, as the existing projects seem a bit outdated.
