Possible to concatenate multiple HTML files into one PDF file?

[thokari]

Basically just like this: http://explicate.blogspot.de/2011/01/multiple-html-files-to-single-pdf-with.html

+1, since this is standard behaviour of the wkhtmltopdf CLI. A possible solution would be:

wkhtmltopdf({
    '/path/to/file1.html': { pageSpecificOptions: 'here' },
    '/path/to/file2.html': {}
}, { output: 'out.pdf' })

What do you think?

[thokari]

I'd definitely take it ;)

It hit me that my suggested solution won't work because the order of elements in an object are not guaranteed (http://stackoverflow.com/a/5525820/1453912). So it should be something like this:

wkhtmltopdf([
    { file: '/path/to/file1.html', options: { pageSpecificOptions: 'here' } },
    { file: '/path/to/file2.html', options: {} },
], { output: 'out.pdf' })

This would indeed make a great feature.

PR #53 adds support for this. Also adds a couple of tests using Mocha. Feedback appreciated.

+1 on that PR! I am using that branch currently and it works like a charm!!

Looking for the same thing

[Andreew4x4]

For e.g if u have:
my-html-file-nr-1.html
my-html-file-nr-2.html
....
my-html-file-nr-n.html
You can simply:

wkhtmltopdf my-html-file-nr-* output.pdf

I have created a pull request to fix this issue: #119

I was trying to do the same thing in GO it worked ..

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"log"
	"os"

	"github.com/SebastiaanKlippert/go-wkhtmltopdf"
)

func CustomError(err error) {
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

func main() {

	pdfg, err := wkhtmltopdf.NewPDFGenerator()

	CustomError(err)

	pdfg.NoCollate.Set(false)
	pdfg.MarginTop.Set(0)
	pdfg.MarginBottom.Set(0)
	pdfg.MarginLeft.Set(0)
	pdfg.MarginRight.Set(0)

	html1, _ := os.ReadFile("./index.ejs") // or the html as a string
	html2, _ := os.ReadFile("./index.ejs")
	html3, _ := os.ReadFile("./index.ejs")

	arr := []string{string(html1), string(html2), string(html3)}

	buf := new(bytes.Buffer)

	// itterate over the array and add each page to the pdf
	for _, html := range arr {
		buf.WriteString(html)
		buf.WriteString(`<P style="page-break-before: always">`)
	}

	pdfg.AddPage(wkhtmltopdf.NewPageReader(buf))

	err = pdfg.Create()

	CustomError(err)

	err = pdfg.WriteFile("simple.pdf")

	CustomError(err)
}
