rotativa pdf in asp.net core can't have header and footer

i have some trouble to get the header AND the footer at the same time in the generated PDF in rotativa asp.net core .

here my controller code :

   string customSwitches = string.Format(" --header-html {0} --footer-html {1}   ",

                              Url.Action("PDFHeader", "PDF", new { vinum = VINUM, YEAR="2018" }, "https") ,

                               Url.Action("PDFFooter", "PDF", new { }, "https"));

                    return new ViewAsPdf(res)
                    {
                        PageSize = Size.A4,
                        PageOrientation = Orientation.Portrait,
                        CustomSwitches = customSwitches ,
                         PageMargins = { Left = 20, Bottom = 20, Right = 20, Top = 20 }  

                    };

if i remove the footer the header show correctly . if i remove the header the footer show correctly .

as you can see the header and footer are dynamically generated .

any idea on what's going on ?

Rotativa version : 1.0.6

wkhtmltopdf version : 0.12.5 (with patched qt)

thanks .

after lot of troubles, this what worked for me :

 string customSwitches = string.Format("--header-spacing \"0\" --footer-spacing \"0\" --header-html {0} --footer-html {1}   ",

            Url.Action("PDFHeader", "PDF", new { vinum = VINUM, YEAR="2018" }, "https") ,

            Url.Action("PDFFooter", "PDF", new { }, "https"));

            return new ViewAsPdf(res)
            {
                PageSize = Size.A4,
                PageOrientation = Orientation.Portrait ,
                CustomSwitches = customSwitches ,


       PageMargins = { Left = 10, Bottom = 33, Right = 10, Top = 50 }  

        };

it's all about spacing wierd parameters:)
