WKHTMLTOPDF options

I can run the following comand under Win cmd box:

"C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe" --header-html "C:\temp\Header.html" http://google.de "C:/temp/out_new1.pdf"

Output looks like expected and includes the Header.html

However, if I try to place it in Python it will return errors. I've tryed the following configruration:

path_wkthmltopdf = "'C:/Program Files/wkhtmltopdf/bin/wkhtmltopdf.exe' --header-html 'C:/temp/Header.html'"
config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf=path_wkthmltopdf)

I'm receiving the following error:

OSError: No wkhtmltopdf executable found: "'C:/Program Files/wkhtmltopdf/bin/wkhtmltopdf.exe' --header-html 'C:/temp/Header.html'"

Can u help please?

Thank you very much in advance

thanks for the tips. I figured out how it works.

I try somesing like:

path_wkthmltopdf = r"'C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe' options=pdf_options"
config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf=path_wkthmltopdf)

which is not working.

You have to put the option to the call like

pdfkit.from_string(data, outputfile_name, configuration=config, options=pdf_options)

Best regards Andreas
