Please follow the below steps to Generate custom pdf:

2: Download dompdf from github dompdf on github.
3: Put dompdf library in "/sites/all/modules/print/lib/dompdf".
4: Add below code at the starting of the custom module file.
use Dompdf\Dompdf;
5: Create your html structure that you want to print in pdf and set your html structure to $result like below example.
$result = '<table>
<tr>
<td>
fitst row first column
</td>
<td>
fitst row second column
</td>
</tr>
</table>';
6: Add condition for print module and not empty result.
if (module_exists('print') && !empty($result))
7: If condition is TRUE then under condition add library path like that
$file_path_include = drupal_get_path('module', 'print') .'/lib/dompdf/autoload.inc.php';
require_once $file_path_include;
8: Create object for Dompdf.
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
9: Add your html structure in object's load_html method.
$dompdf->load_html($result);
10: Add below line to generate output.
$dompdf->render();
$pdfoutput = $dompdf->output();
11: Set file name and file path that you want to store. Keep the name dynamic if there are multiple pdfs by appending date-time.
$filename = 'demo.pdf';
$filepath = 'sites/default/files/pdf/demo.pdf';
12: Write file using below code. This will generate pdf at "sites/default/files/pdf/demo.pdf".
$fp = fopen($filepath, "w+");
fwrite($fp, $pdfoutput);
fclose($fp);
Here is the full code:
use Dompdf\Dompdf;
$result = '<table>
<tr>
<td>
fitst row first column
</td>
<td>
fitst row second column
</td>
</tr>
</table>';
if (module_exists('print') && !empty($result)) {
$dompdf = new Dompdf();
$dompdf->load_html($result);
$dompdf->render();
$pdfoutput = $dompdf->output();
$filename = 'demo.pdf';
$filepath = 'sites/default/files/pdf/demo.pdf';
$fp = fopen($filepath, "w+");
fwrite($fp, $pdfoutput);
fclose($fp);
}
