I am trying to test out a simple page that I wish to use to generate an A4 PDF at 300 DPI. Which I calculated to be 2480px wide and 3507px high;
This is the HTML which I expected to create a single page PDF that has a red border around the edges. The problem is that I am getting PDF that is four pages long.
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width:2480px;
height:3507px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width:2480px; height:3507px; border:1px solid red;"/>
</body>
</html>
This is the command I am using to generate the PDF:
wkhtmltopdf --disable-smart-shrinking --page-size A4 --dpi 300 --margin-bottom 0 --margin-left 0 --margin-right 0 --margin-top 0 test.html test.pdf
I can't work out if I am doing something wrong, such as missing a setting or calculating the size of my page incorrectly?
Any help would be appreciated.
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://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/qprinter.html#PaperSize-enum>.
INSTRUCTIONS: Download an appropriate version of wkHTMLtoPDF library from http://wkhtmltopdf.org. If you are on Windows operating system then do install it under C:\ drive (for example c:\wkhtmltopdf). On Linux/UNIX, you can install it under /usr/local/bin and make sure wkhtmltopdf has execute permissions.
dpi is not working in wkhtmltopdf version 0.12.4
the default value is 96. Try to use zoom setting with value 96/300 = 0.32
