Hello,

I am trying to use a html page and convert it to pdf but it gives an output like multiple lines while it should have been in a single line and ending column’s data gets cut in half if it is too long to fit. Would love any advice.

Not working on Linux Envirotment

It is not working on linux, tried aloot of things, had to import a new version of wkhtmltopdf that i found on the web and got it working for me.

This repository has "wkhtmltopdf 0.12.4" version and i had to create a docker image with "wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 (with patched qt)"

Dockerfile
`FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1-buster-slim AS base

...

// Install wkhtmltopdf dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y
xvfb
libfontconfig
wkhtmltopdf
libxrender1
libgdiplus
libc6-dev

...

// copy a working linux binary of wkhtmltopdf
// wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 (with patched qt) -
// this is where i replace your wkhtmltopdf for a latest version
RUN cp newVersionFileForLinux /app/wkhtmltopdf/linux/x64/wkhtmltopdf`

Headers/Footers/Misc

Hi there,

Is there any interest in extending the wrapper to support the configuration of headers, footers, and a few other switches (such as --lowquality, --print-media-type, and --grayscale)?

If so, I'm happy to submit a pull request.

Cheers

Executeable not found in dotnet Net6 core

Debugged the code locally and the path of the wkhtmltopdf.exe points to a folder outside the project, "AppData\Local\AzureFunctionsTools\Releases\4.10.1\cli_x64"

It works when you place the executable file there but I could not now where is points when deploying the code to the server

Library doesn't work in single file application in .NET 5

When publishing my application with -p:PublishSingleFile=true the pugpdf library doesn't work, it throws an error when trying to access the assembly location.

Unhandled exception. System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'path1')
   at System.IO.Path.Combine(String path1, String path2)

According to the documentation Assembly.location will always return an empty string.

The solution seems to be simple, just change assembly.location to AppContext.BaseDirectory.

I'll send a PR with this fix, I made some tests locally and seems to work fine.

wrong destination path, not running with azure-function,

the wkhtmltopdf binaries will be copyed in a wrong folder.

DestinationFiles="$(OutDir)\wkhtmltopdf<plattform><bitness>\wkhtmltopdf" is not ok for AzureFunction.

it must be:
DestinationFiles="$(OutDir)\bin\wkhtmltopdf<plattform><bitness>\wkhtmltopdf"

the start of any azurefunction is "../bin/court4u.AzureFunction.dll"

but the binaries not copyed in the correct bin-folder

do you can fix this? or do you have any workaround?
