Chrome headless in Ubuntu

Question

I'm trying to use chrome headless print to pdf option to print some pdf Files in ubuntu and here's my command line :

google-chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf  http://www.google.com

Now if I ran it like that it runs perfecly and the file is generated.

BUT when I add the name of the file after --print-to-pdf :

google-chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf gen.pdf http://www.google.com

an error occur :

[1213/020159.194304:ERROR:headless_shell.cc(605)] Open multiple tabs is only supported when remote debugging is enabled.

Any solution to this ? thx.

You're missing an = between --print-to-pdf and gen.pdf.

This should work:

google-chrome --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=gen.pdf http://www.google.com

that did the trick. I'll accept your answer shortly, Just a notice : In windows it runs without `=`. – OddDev Dec 13 '17 at 10:12
In my case it is not working even after adding = in cent OS 7. – Gentleman Sep 25 '19 at 15:35

In my case, I was adding a space where I didn't mean to. – Josiah Yoder Jun 08 '20 at 19:18
