Dompdf / PHP does not transfer streams to PDF, just showing the code on the page

Question

I have a little problem with dompdf ,

Instead of creating a PDF file, only the following code is displayed on the screen:

% PDF-1.6% 1 0 obj [/ PDF / ImageB / ImageC / ImageI / Text] endobj 4 0 obj <> stream xr 0 <nH "\ 4 & ul: Ǥ cB L. ~! 踶, 492 # {& ' \ eq / + ^ N} qW o $ 8!

I believe this is a binary string of PDF ...

But why does dompdf not create PDF for saving?

Try adding headers to your php script (just before you write the pdf stream generated by DOMPDF):

header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myfilename.pdf"');
