Name

       wkhtmltopdf - html to pdf converter

Synopsis

         wkhtmltopdf [GLOBAL OPTION]... [OBJECT]... <output file>

Document objects

       wkhtmltopdf  is  able  to  put several objects into the output file, an object is either a
       single webpage, a cover webpage or a table of contents.  The  objects  are  put  into  the
       output  document  in  the  order  they  are  specified on the command line, options can be
       specified on a per object basis or in the global options area.  Options  from  the  Global
       Options section can only be placed in the global options area.

       A page objects puts the content of a single webpage into the output document.

         (page)? <input url/file name> [PAGE OPTION]...

       Options  for  the  page  object  can  be placed in the global options and the page options
       areas. The applicable options can be found in the Page  Options  and  Headers  And  Footer
       Options sections.

       A  cover  objects  puts the content of a single webpage into the output document, the page
       does not appear in the table of contents, and does not have headers and footers.

         cover <input url/file name> [PAGE OPTION]...

       All options that can be specified for a page object can also be specified for a cover.

       A table of contents object inserts a table of contents into the output document.

         toc [TOC OPTION]...

       All options that can be specified for a page object can  also  be  specified  for  a  toc,
       further  more  the  options from the TOC Options section can also be applied. The table of
       contents is generated via XSLT which means that it can be styled to look however you  want
       it  to  look.  To  get an idea of how to do this you can dump the default xslt document by
       supplying  the  --dump-default-toc-xsl,  and  the  outline  it  works  on   by   supplying
       --dump-outline, see the Outline Options section.

Specifying A Proxy

       By default proxy information will be read from the environment variables: proxy, all_proxy
       and http_proxy, proxy options can also by specified with the -p switch

         <type> := "http://" | "socks5://"
         <serif> := <username> (":" <password>)? "@"
         <proxy> := "None" | <type>? <string>? <host> (":" <port>)?

       Here are some examples (In case you are unfamiliar with the BNF):

         http://user:password@myproxyserver:8080
         socks5://myproxyserver
         None

Reduced Functionality

       This version of wkhtmltopdf has  been  compiled  against  a  version  of  QT  without  the
       wkhtmltopdf  patches.  Therefore  some  features  are  missing, if you need these features
       please use the static version.

       Currently the list of features only supported with patch QT includes:

        * Printing more than one HTML document into a PDF file.
        * Running without an X11 server.
        * Adding a document outline to the PDF file.
        * Adding headers and footers to the PDF file.
        * Generating a table of contents.
        * Adding links in the generated PDF file.
        * Printing using the screen media-type.
        * Disabling the smart shrink feature of WebKit.

Page sizes

       The default page size of the rendered document is A4, but by using the --page-size  option
       this  can  be  changed to almost anything else, such as: A3, Letter and Legal.  For a full
       list      of      supported      pages      sizes      please       see       <https://qt-
       project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qprinter.html#PaperSize-enum>.

       For  a  more  fine  grained  control over the page size the --page-height and --page-width
       options may be used

Reading arguments from stdin

       If you need to convert a lot of pages in a batch, and you feel that wkhtmltopdf is  a  bit
       too slow to start up, then you should try --read-args-from-stdin,

       When  --read-args-from-stdin each line of input sent to wkhtmltopdf on stdin will act as a
       separate invocation of wkhtmltopdf,  with  the  arguments  specified  on  the  given  line
       combined with the arguments given to wkhtmltopdf

       For example one could do the following:

         echo "https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qapplication.html qapplication.pdf" >> cmds
         echo "cover google.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(software) qt.pdf" >> cmds
         wkhtmltopdf --read-args-from-stdin --book < cmds

Page Breaking

       The  current page breaking algorithm of WebKit leaves much to be desired. Basically WebKit
       will render everything into one long page, and then cut it up into pages. This means  that
       if  you  have  two  columns  of  text where one is vertically shifted by half a line. Then
       WebKit will cut a line into to pieces display the top half on one  page.  And  the  bottom
       half  on  another  page.  It will also break image in two and so on.  If you are using the
       patched version of QT you can use  the  CSS  page-break-inside  property  to  remedy  this
       somewhat.  There  is no easy solution to this problem, until this is solved try organizing
       your HTML documents such that it contains many lines on which pages can be cut cleanly.
