本人环境配置

wkhtmltopdf: 0.12.3.2
Python: 3.5.2+

问题描述

options = { 
    'encoding': "UTF-8",
    'custom-header': [
        ('Accept-Encoding', 'gzip')
    ]
}
pdfkit.from_file(['0.html', '1.html'], 'demo.pdf', options=options)

在将多个html文件转换成pdf的时候, 提示:

This version of wkhtmltopdf is build against an unpatched version of QT

发现下面错误有时候pdf已经转换出来 try下 延时下就可以了

except :
    print '-------------xxxxx-----------'
    time.sleep(2)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/path/to/jekyll_spider.py", line 148, in <module>
    main()
  File "/path/to/jekyll_spider.py", line 144, in main
    save_pdf(html_paths, file_name)
  File "/path/to/jekyll_spider.py", line 118, in save_pdf
    pdfkit.from_file(html_path, pdf_path, options=options)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pdfkit/api.py", line 49, in from_file
    return r.to_pdf(output_path)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pdfkit/pdfkit.py", line 156, in to_pdf
    raise IOError('wkhtmltopdf reported an error:\n' + stderr)
OSError: wkhtmltopdf reported an error:

Exit with code 1, due to unknown error.

解决方法

下载并使用 0.12.4 版本的 wkhtmltopdf 包 ¹

$ wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
$ tar xvJf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
$ sudo cp wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmlto* /usr/bin/

如果使用PDFkit而没有安装wkhtmltopdf, 则会报如下错误:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/path/to/jekyll_spider.py", line 148, in <module>
    main()

OSError: No wkhtmltopdf executable found: "b''"
If this file exists please check that this process can read it. Otherwise please install wkhtmltopdf - https://github.com/JazzCore/python-pdfkit/wiki/Installing-wkhtmltopdf

Ubuntu可以直接命令行安装wkhtmltopdf:
