this snippet will help you to get started with domPDF package for laravel to export your data in pdf format
1- install domPDF package with composer
composer require barryvdh/laravel-dompdf2- after installing the package with composer go to config directory and open app.php file and paste the following code in config/app.php file into providers array
Barryvdh\DomPDF\ServiceProvider::class,3- and paste this code into aliases array
'PDF' => Barryvdh\DomPDF\Facade::class,4- now , publish the package configration to be able to use it properly with this code

Route::get("/exportPDF", ['uses'=>'CouponController@exportPDF', 'as'=>'admin.coupons.export.pdf']);6- in controller add this use statement and function to use
use PDF; // to use pdf
// this is the function to use when exporting
public function exportPDF(){
$coupons = Coupon::orderby('id', 'desc')->get();
$pdf = PDF::loadView('default.admin.couponsList_pdf',compact('coupons'))->setPaper('a4', 'portrait'); // you can use portrait or landscape to set paper orientation
return $pdf->download('couponsList_pdf.pdf');
