A shell utility to convert HTML to PDF using the Webkit rendering engine and Qt.

Tool for converting web pages to PDF documents using the WebKit engine. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or display service.

Document objects:

wkhtmltopdf is able to put several objects into the output file, an object is either a single webpage, a cover webpage or a table of content. The objects are put into the output document in the order they are specified on the command line, options can be specified on a per object basis or in the global options area. Options from the Global Options section can only be placed in the global options area

A page objects puts the content of a singe webpage into the output document.

(page)? <input url/file name> [PAGE OPTION]...

Options for the page object can be placed in the global options and the page options areas. The applicable options can be found in the Page Options and Headers And Footer Options sections.

A cover objects puts the content of a singe webpage into the output document, the page does not appear in the table of content, and does not have headers and footers.

cover <input url/file name> [PAGE OPTION]...

All options that can be specified for a page object can also be specified for a cover.
