I'm using wkhtmltopdf through the Symfony Bundle knp Snappy bundle and it works fine as long as I'm using px for size. But I need to generate a sticker sheet based on A4 size and I can't have anything right : I set all margin to 0 for wkhtmltopdf
$snappy->setOption('margin-top', '0mm');
$snappy->setOption('margin-left', '0mm');
$snappy->setOption('margin-right', '0mm');
$snappy->setOption('margin-bottom', '0mm');
then in my test html (it's a twig in the application) for a columns: i've tried a simple :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="fr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body style="margin:0;padding:0">
<div style="background-color:red;width:99%;height:1400px;border:solid #000 1px">
<div style="background-color:green;display:inline-block;padding:0;margin:0;width:105mm;height:297mm"></div>
<div style="background-color:yellow;display:inline-block;padding:0;margin:0;width:105mm;height:297mm"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
i've also tried with inches : 105 => 4.13in, 297mm => 11.69in with the same result
I've also tried to generate directly (without the bundle)
wkhtmltopdf --page-size A4 -B 0 -L 0 -R 0 -T 0 test.html output.pdf
with the same result
This is what i get :

why half the A4 size: 105mm or 4.13in is not working? I've also tried setting directly the page size in the wkhtmltopdf setup : page-height and page-width with no change.
I can't use percentages because with the real data I will have more complex settings (margin left and right, 2, 3... columns)
What could be wrong about the setup? is it a CSS problem ? a wkhtmltopdf problem?
I found out that using the --disable-smart-shrinking option helped a lot.
By default the --enable-smart-shrinking is activated and messes with the html rendering, when using absolute measures (in, mm)
