<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
include_once APPPATH.'/third_party/mpdf/mpdf.php';
class M_pdf {
    public $param;
    public $pdf;

    public function __construct($param = '"UTF-8","A4","","",10,10,10,10,6,3')
    {
        $this->param =$param;
        //$this->pdf = new mPDF($this->param);
        $this->pdf = new mPDF('+aCJK','A4','','',32,25,27,25,16,13);
