Hi I have mybb installed on my website. I have also installed dompdf and its working in its own directory i.e. I have installed in "DOM" directory. Now I can easily general pdfs with this simple code , keeping in the "DOM" directory.
<?php
require_once "dompdf_config.inc.php";
//$file = "www/test/css_at_font_face.html";
$file="msf.html";
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html_file($file);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
?>
If I try to access other file that is out the director DOM i.e.
load_html_file($file); $dompdf->render(); $dompdf->stream(“sample.pdf”);
?>
I receive error Remote file requested, but DOMPDF_ENABLE_REMOTE is false

To load html without enabling remote file access:
<?php
require_once "dompdf_config.inc.php";
$file = "www/test/css_at_font_face.html";
$html=file_get_contents($file);
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("sample.pdf");
?>
To enable remote file access:
Taken from dompdf_config.inc.php
/**
* Enable remote file access
*
* If this setting is set to true, DOMPDF will access remote sites for
* images and CSS files as required.
* This is required for part of test case www/test/image_variants.html through www/examples.php
*
* Attention!
* **This can be a security risk**, in particular in combination with DOMPDF_ENABLE_PHP and
* allowing remote access to dompdf.php or on allowing remote html code to be passed to
* $dompdf = new DOMPDF(); $dompdf->load_html(...);
* This allows anonymous users to download legally doubtful internet content which on
* tracing back appears to being downloaded by your server, or allows malicious php code
* in remote html pages to be executed by your server with your account privileges.
*
* @var bool
