$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$dompdf = new Dompdf();

@NoVizin You can try this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25563870/making-dompdf-as-my-pdf-writer-for-phpword

[Nikerabbit]

Dompdf has not included dompdf_config.inc.php since 0.7.0 and it also nowadays places classes in a namespace. Until PHPWord is updated, the following work-around worked for me.

dompdf_config.inc.php

<?php
// To enable pdf exporting with phpword
class_alias( \Dompdf\Dompdf::class, 'DOMPDF' );

Setup

// Assuming dompdf_config.inc.php is in the same directory
use \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings;
Settings::setPdfRenderer( Settings::PDF_RENDERER_DOMPDF, __DIR__ );

[JoeThielen]

The info from @Nikerabbit worked from me. However, one small edit needs to be made to dompdf_config.inc.php there needs to be a semi-colon placed at the end of the class_alias() line.

If I put the dompdf_config.inc.php in the samples dir, then modify Sample_Header.php and place the Settings:: line under the already existing use line in there, then it works, I can produce a PDF.

However, the PDF version loses a lot of formatting, but I suppose that's another issue altogether. I've tried dompdf versions 0.8.0, 0.7.0, and 0.6.2.

[Nikerabbit]

I updated my comment to include the semi-colon, for any future copy-pasters ;)

[GHim9182]

Sorry @JoeThielen and @Nikerabbit just one request.
Where i need to create dompdf_config.inc.php?

[JoeThielen]

@GHim9182 I put it in the same directory as the project I was working on. In my case, it was the samples directory of PHPWord, since that is what I was testing.
