codeigniter convert excel file to pdf

Question

I want to ask how can I convert excel to pdf?

I want to put 5 excel files and after I click upload in convert to 1 pdf?

for now I use in this code:

    /**
 * Example: DOMPDF 
 *
 * Documentation: 
 * http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/Usage
 *
 */
public function index() {   
    // Load all views as normal
    $this->load->view('test');
    // Get output html
    $html = $this->output->get_output();

    // Load library
    $this->load->library('dompdf_gen');

    // Convert to PDF
    $this->dompdf->load_html($html);
    $this->dompdf->render();
    $this->dompdf->stream("welcome.pdf");

}

the library:

class Dompdf_gen {

public function __construct() {

    require_once APPPATH.'third_party/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php';

    $pdf = new DOMPDF();

    $CI =& get_instance();
    $CI->dompdf = $pdf;

}

}

Answer 1

I do not understand the problem. like in this code:

    $this->load->helper(array('dompdf', 'file'));
    // page info here, db calls, etc.
    $html = $this->load->view('home', $data, true);
    pdf_create($html, 'filename')
    or
    $data = pdf_create($html, '', false);
    write_file('name', $data);

how i put after i upload excel file and cover it to pdf? this function is only for HTML
