I have reproduced my problem below :

I draw a 210x297 rectangle on a web page

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
div.rectangle {
  border: solid 1px;
  width: 210mm;
  height: 297mm;
}
</style>
<head>
</head> 
<body> 
<div class="rectangle">
  <img/>
</div>
</body>
</html>

I transform this html document to pdf with pdfkit in Python

import pdfkit

options = {
    'page-size':'A4',
    'encoding':'utf-8', 
    'margin-top':'0cm',
    'margin-bottom':'0cm',
    'margin-left':'0cm',
    'margin-right':'0cm'
}

pdfkit.from_file('test.html', 'test.pdf', options=options)

I obtain a pdf file with a rectangle at the top left corner whose size is roughly 5 times too small...

I would really appreciate if you can have a look !

What OS do you have? I have the same issue on the macOS. – Jugate 26/5, 2017 at 18:43

For me manual set up of the DPI works as workaround:

options={'page-size':'A4', 'dpi':400}

you can try to disable shrinking through the options as below

options = { 'disable-smart-shrinking': ''}
