namespace App\Http\Controllers;
    
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use PDF;
    
class PDFController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function generatePDF()

        ]; 
              
        $pdf = PDF::loadView('myPDF', $data);
  
        return $pdf->download('itsolutionstuff.pdf');
    }

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\PDFController;
  
/*

|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

*/
  
Route::get('generate-pdf', [PDFController::class, 'generatePDF']);
