Here’s what BambooInvoice uses
function pdf()
{
$this->load->plugin('to_pdf');
$this->load->model('settings_model', '', TRUE);
$this->load->helper('typography');
$data['pageTitle'] = 'invoice';
$id = (int) $this->uri->segment(3);
$invoiceInfo = $this->invoices_model->getSingleInvoice($id);
if ($invoiceInfo->num_rows() == 0) {redirect('invoices/', 'location');}
$data['row'] = $this->invoices_model->getSingleInvoice($id)->row();
$data['companyInfo'] = $this->settings_model->getCompanyInfo()->row();
$html = $this->load->view('invoices/pdf', $data, true);
pdf_create($html, 'invoice_'.$data['row']->invoiceNumber);
}
and the view
<?php
/*

* This file is essentially a stripped down version of /views/invoices/view.php
* Any changes you make to that formatting, you may consider adding to this.

* there is limited or no support for a specific CSS style you want (ie: floating) and you'll
* need to work around with old-school tables. Sorry for that... ;)
