Are there any specific best practices to follow when using DOMPDF to avoid layout shifting or overlapping in the generated PDF?

When using DOMPDF to generate PDFs, layout shifting or overlapping can occur if the HTML content is not properly structured or styled. To avoid these issues, ensure that your HTML content is well-formatted, use inline styles instead of external CSS files, and avoid using complex CSS properties that may not be fully supported by DOMPDF. 

<?php
require_once 'dompdf/autoload.inc.php';

// Create a new DOMPDF instance
$dompdf = new Dompdf\Dompdf();

// Load HTML content
$html = '<html><head><style>body { font-size: 16px; }</style></head><body><h1>Hello, World!</h1></body></html>';
$dompdf->loadHtml($html);

// Set paper size and orientation
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'portrait');

// Render PDF
$dompdf->render();

// Output PDF
$dompdf->stream('example.pdf');
