wkhtmltopdf stylesheets

Question

can anybody tell me how to include user-style-sheet ind wkhtlmtopdf v. 0.10?

I'm refering to a local file, but that doesn't effect my Pdf anyway.

switches += "--user-style-sheet \User\...\style.css "

Is it an option for you to use another utility than wkhtmltopdf? One that has better support for using stylesheets? – Sporophyll

No, our application is nearly finished with wkhtml. – Bilbo

Answer 1

What about using a 'real' URL syntax with your switch? Something like

switches += "--user-style-sheet file:///User/.../style.css"

Just a note: you cannot specify multiple CSS files this way. – Abirritant

Answer 2

Another option to using the argument is to inject the stylesheet programmatically before the PDF conversion happens. Perhaps by using a URL parameter that identifies if a page is being fed to wkhtmltopdf or by downloading the page, injecting the CSS reference and then regurgitating the page for wkhtmltopdf.
