I beleave i need more information to help,

You should first load the plugin "config/bootstrap.php"
optinall edit “config/routes.php” for extension routing
Then configure in config/app.php or in controller

    Configure::write('CakePdf', [
        'engine' => 'CakePdf.WkHtmlToPdf',
        'margin' => [
            'bottom' => 15,
            'left' => 50,
            'right' => 30,
            'top' => 45
        ],
        'orientation' => 'landscape',
        'download' => true
    ]);

end than you can use the engine (mPDF) you set in your view

Here is some code from my working app, so you can try:

in controller, name for example abc

public function initialize()
{
    $this->loadComponent( ['viewClassMap' => ['pdf' => 'CakePdf.Pdf']]);
    parent::initialize();
}

in some action/method, named xyz

{
                $this->viewBuilder()->options([
                    'pdfConfig' => [
                        'engine' => 'CakePdf.Mpdf',
                        'orientation' => 'portrait',
                        'filename' => $filename,
                        'margin' => [
                            'bottom' => 0,
                            'left' => 0,
                            'right' => 0,
                            'top' => 0
                            ],
                        'download' => true
                    ]
                ]);
            }

on the end of this action

$this->viewBuilder()->className(‘CakePdf.Pdf’);

and your *.ctp for this pdf is in:
Template/abc/ pdf /xyz.ctp
