How to call pdf.php file from Cakephp 3 application?


I have a file pdf.php which contains code to develop a pdf file using FPDF. I have gone through the tutorials and I cannot call this pdf.php file from my form action in my template file.

I have also tried to put the code of pdf.phpin 'generatepdf.ctp'. It is not working. I think it is because of the headers and footers from the default.ctp file.

How to do it?
