Options set in described methods resulting error

[BakuDev]

Hi!

Tried to set options directly within called methods as described in docs but seems it's not possible?

$pdf->addCover('cover.html', ['orientation' => 'Portrait']);

Error:

--orientation specified in incorrect location

$pdf->addPage('page1.html', ['encoding' => 'UTF-8']);

Error:

Unknown long argument --charset

And because of above, it's impossible to mix multiple pages of different orientation. Is there any workaround on how to combine pages with different orientation in a single PDF file without using any other software?

These are questions about wkhtmltopdf so you should ask there. This here is only a PHP wrapper around it.

If you check wkhtmltopdf -H you see, that orientation is a global option and charset is no option at all. So the error is expected. You can try encoding instead of charset.

I think this thread could be reopen since it's actually resulting error when you try different variables.
ie. ['encoding' => 'UTF-8'] will work, but not ['margin-top' => '100mm']

[mikehaertl]

What do you mean by "not work"? Is there an error from wkthmltopdf or is there a problem with the created command string?

@mikehaertl thanks for your quick feedback.
There is my error
Error: --margin-top specified in incorrect location

I searched more about this and I think margin-top is only available as a global variable.
In fact, margin per page seems not quite implanted yet (as seen in this thread).

We can't fix this here. Our library is only a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf which does no syntactical checks if your options are at the right place. In other words you need to know how to use wkhtmltopdf to use our library.

Yeah that's what I understood. Thanks for your support.
