From the documentation of phpspreadsheet:

You must now install a PDF rendering library yourself; but PhpSpreadsheet will work with a number of different libraries.

The error comes from not installing the rendering library you want to use (in this case mPDF). Just add mpdf/mpdf to your composer dependencies.

Thanks for reply @BlobbyBob. I was installed PHPSpreadsheet with composer and all there pdf library also install withing phpspreadsheet. – Arun Kumar Mar 20 '18 at 08:30
Apparently it isn't correctly installed because `\Mpdf\Mpdf` can't be found. Try to add it manually and run `composer update` – BlobbyBob Mar 20 '18 at 09:13
@ArunKumar You shouldn't put it manually in any directory. Just run `composer require mpdf/mpdf` and everything should work – BlobbyBob Mar 20 '18 at 09:51
@BlobbBob My excel file convert successfully to pdf but I'm Getting "Warning: unlink(C:\Windows\Temp\ib9CEB.tmp): Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\api\vendor\mpdf\mpdf\src\Cache.php on line 69" error. – Arun Kumar Mar 20 '18 at 11:22
