Menu
I am using pdfkit in order to generate pdfs from html strings, rendered by my Django's views.
For some reason, the output pdf is small. My pdfkit option dictionary is -
options = {
'quiet': '',
'page-size': 'A4',
'margin-top': '0.75in',
'margin-right': '0.75in',
'margin-bottom': '0.75in',
'margin-left': '0.75in',
'disable-smart-shrinking': ''
}
and the output file is here
Html code is -
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="pdfkit-orientation" content="Portrait"/>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

The problem was about setting the dpi parameter for pdfkit.
So if you encounter the same problem, just set the dpi according to your need. For me, this what I was needed
options = {
'page-size': 'A4',
'dpi': 400
}
I had this same issue. I just changed the default configuration:
PDFKit.configure do |config|
config.default_options = {
page_size: 'A4',
print_media_type: true,
dpi: 400
}
end
you can try to disable shrinking through the options as below
options = { 'disable-smart-shrinking': ''}
