Converting CodeIgniter view into PDF

I'm trying to convert an output from a view file into PDF with TCPDF library. But I don't know how to configure it. Every tutorial I've read states that the PDF data should be included outside of view. So the question is, it's a truth that I can't convert output from view into PDF?

This has probably something to do with the way you would normally create PDF files with TCPDF. You can't just take a view (or the output from one) and tell TCPDF to 'create my HTML as a PDF'. TCPDF needs you to tell it where to put what in which cells.

You could take a look at this project instead of TCPDF if you need to create PDF's from your views. I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard some good things about it.
