I just downloaded version 10.0 for opensuse v. 11.3. I can convert a webpage (ie www.google.com) using it but cannot convert a local file. I grant all permissions on the file (& i've even tried running under sudo to no avail). This is the error:
"Loading pages (1/6) Error: Failed loading page file:///file.html".
The file exists but wkhtmltopdf refuses to load it. I even tried version 9.9 w/ the same result
What am I missing?
Just as a notice to any future people. I couldn't get the accepted answer working on Ubuntu 14.04, so I resorted to piping my HTML to the wkhtmltopdf command like so:
cat test.html | wkhtmltopdf - test.pdf
This is from the wkhtmltopdf command-line help:
Use - for stdin or stdout
You need to provide the full path. Using file:/// does not make use of the current working directory. Rather, it specifies the path to the file from the root of the file system.
