How to install wkhtmltopdf with patched qt?
I want to convert html to pdf, and I use wkhtmltopdf.
But print size is smaller than I supposed.
I want to try --disable-smart-shrinking option but error occured like
$ xvfb-run -- /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf --disable-smart-shrinking $INPUT $OUTPUT
The switch --disable-smart-shrinking, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.Loading page (1/2)
Printing pages (2/2)
Done
Maybe I have to install wkhtmltopdf with patched qt, but I don't know how to install.
I saw following size, but gitorious.org doesn't work.
My OS is Ubuntu14.04, and wkhtmltopdf version is 0.12.2.1
If you know other reason to be printed smaller, tell me please. thanks.
Answer
This straightforward solution (no need to install xvfb, neither compiling QT neither wkhtmltopdf) works like a charm on my Debian Jessie server :
cd mytmpfolder
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
sudo tar xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
sudo mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmlto* /usr/bin/
#create simple html test file
echo "<html><body>test</body></html>" >> test.html
#perform conversion
sudo wkhtmltopdf --disable-smart-shrinking --lowquality --enable-external-links --enable-internal-links test.html test.pdf
