wkhtmltopdf internal links

I am using wkhtmltopdf to generate reports from my html templates, i am trying to generate an index for the output PDF.

The thing is that I want to achieve similar functionality to the indexes of microsoft word.

For this purpose I need to use several internal links among the document, so when clicking in the index of the PDF, it goes to page 10 for example.

Any clues about how to achieve this?

I am using wkhtmltopdf version 0.11.0 rc2 in Windows, but sooner or later I will have to move it to linux so I need a compatible solution among operating systems.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Solution

  • I got the solution by my self, but i just haven't check compatibility with Linux.

    For achieving the internal links you add in the html:

    Target of the Link:

     <a name="name_of_target">Content</a>

    Link to the Target:

     <a href="#name_of_target">Link Text</a>

    It works perfectly when converted to pdf.
