All public methods are listed below:
public $pdf => Dompdf instance. Useful for setting custom options like orientation and paper size. List of all options can be found here.
public function setData($html) => Equal to $dompdf->loadHtml($html).
public function setFileName($fileName) => Set output fileName.
public function setAttachment($mode) => Mode can either be attachment (download) or inline (no download).
public function renderOutput() => Equal to running $dompdf->render() & $dompdf->output(). Will cache the output since Dompdf doesn't support rendering twice
