This doesn't work
echo '<p>Hello</p>' | /usr/bin/xvfb-run -a /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf - - > ~/notworking.pdf
But this works:
echo '<p>Hello</p>' | /usr/bin/xvfb-run -a /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf - ~/working.pdf
Please notice how the files are being created above
Files Attached (Google Drive Links):
I am on Ubuntu 14.04 (64Bit)
No errors in both commands, files are generated properly with file size:
ubuntu@ip-*-*-*-*:~$ du -s -B1 ~/working.pdf
8192 /home/ubuntu/working.pdf
ubuntu@ip-*-*-*-*:~$ du -s -B1 ~/notworking.pdf
8192 /home/ubuntu/notworking.pdf
On windows, it is working as expected.
There are minor changes in Raw Data, which I am not able to understand.
Has anyone faced similar issue ? Can anyone point me to link to the solution, i couldn't find here on SO or the net.
echo '<p>Hello</p>' | /usr/bin/xvfb-run -a /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf -q - - > ~/notworking.pdf
executing wkhtmltopdf in quiet mode (-q) fixed the issue. As even the following was prepended in the pdf file:
Loading page (1/2)
Printing pages (2/2)
Done
