wkhtmltopdf headers multi-page

cris, Member

Hello,

I'm pretty sure this is a wkhtmltopdf deficiency, but thought I would ask to see if there are any work-arounds or alternative solutions. I have a crosstab table with rotated headers using transform. It works great when the PDF is limited to one page. When the PDF spans multiple pages, the rotated headers are blank. If I remove the 'display:block' from the CSS below, the headers aren't rotated but they print on each page. I would like the rotated headers to be displayed on each page of the PDF.

Any ideas for a work-around? I see there is a way to run additional javascript through wkhtmltopdf after the page is done loading: --run-script js Run this additional javascript after the page is done loading (repeatable). Is this a potential solution?

Thanks,
Cris

The code is long, but mostly repeating to demonstrate the failure of the PDF header creation on the second page.

Cris,
this is/was a bug in wkhtmltopdf.

You could try the Bleeding Edge version, compile the wkhtmltopd from source or just wait for the next release.

The --run-script allows one to add additional JS to a page, but as you can already do this inside myDBR, the option is not needed.
