wicked_pdf not rendering template nor footer on rails 7

Question

I am trying to render a document as pdf using wickedpdf on a rails 7 app. It works fine BUT when I try to use the --header and --footer to print pdf as stationery, wicked/wkhtmltopdf just ignores the template html and the footer template, so I end up with a nice empty stationery page (header is rendered correctly with images and erb). I have read several posts here about the same problem but none helps my problem. Please help me, I should be missing some details These are the wickedpdf and wkhtmltopdf versions:

wicked_pdf (2.7.0)
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.6.1 (with patched qt)

Also... This is what bundle install shows:

Using wicked_pdf 2.7.0
Using wkhtmltopdf-binary 0.12.6.6
Using wkhtmltopdf-heroku 2.12.6.0

Here is the render command I'm using in the controller action that triggers the pdf directly:

def approve
    @quotation.update(state: "autorizada")
    render pdf: "cotizacion#{@quotation.id}",
           template: 'authorize/approve',
           layout: 'pdf',
           page_size: 'letter',
           page_height: '11in',
           page_width: '8.5in',
           default_header: false,
           print_media_type: true,
           formats: [:html],
           margin: { top: 10, bottom: 10, left: 5, right: 5 },
           header: { html: { template: 'layouts/pdf_header' }, layout: 'pdf' },
           # This was also tried:
           # footer: { html: { template: 'layouts/pdf_footer' }, layout: 'pdf' },
           footer: { content: render_to_string('layouts/pdf_footer') },
           delete_temporary_files: true
  end

Here is the app/views/layouts/pdf.html.erb layout



  
    <%= "Cotización: #{@quotation.id}" %>
    <%= wicked_pdf_stylesheet_link_tag "pdf" %>
    
    
    
  
  
    
      
      
    
    
      <%= yield %>

This is the app/views/authorize/approve.html.erb template


    
      
        Cotización:
        <%= @quotation.id %>
      
      
        Cliente:
        <%= @quotation.request.client.name %>

        Total:
        <%= number_to_currency(@quotation.total) %>
      
    
    
      Please see below the quotation for the required service.

          <% rsg.real_segments.each do |rs| %>
            
                <% rs_subtotal = 0 %>
                <% rs.real_quote_lines.each do |rql| %>
                  
                    <% rs_subtotal += rql.quantity * rql.unit_price %>
                  
                <% end %>
                
                <% servicio_total += rs_subtotal %>
          <% end %>

                    <%= rql.unit_price %>
                    <%= number_to_currency(rql.quantity * rql.unit_price) %>

                  Subtotal:
                  <%= number_to_currency(rs_subtotal) %>
                

            Total:
            <%= number_to_currency(servicio_total) %>

This is app/views/layouts/pdf_header.html.erb

I have tried several stackOverflow postings on this subject with no success, I've also tried several options, like if I put the header and footer code within the app/views/layouts/pdf.html.erb directly I get both header and foother AND the template content but header and footer only once and not in every page as it should be as in a stationery paper. I hope you can help me, thank you.
