Hello! So I am using wkhtmltopdf to convert generated pages into PDF’s and can’t find a solution for the issue I have found. The html pages have CSS that allows me to write text over an image that is set to an opacity of .2. The html displays great but when I convert to PDF the image which was in the background and opaque are now in the foreground and not opaque therefore the text is now behind the image.

Is there a way to get wkhtmltopdf to keep the formatting of the page as defined by CSS? I have been reading the man page but can’t find anything that seems to address my question. Other than this issue I like the tool, works quite well and fast!

Thanks, Ravi, I have Wkhtmltopdf installed on my Linux server and want to be able to convert without having to go to an outside source. Wkhtmltopdf works when I use it from the command line, just need to understand what I need to do to be able to have it work from a PHP script.

Thanks

I want to use a PHP script to produce/save an html page to pdf. I have not found any working models/examples.

Do you have one?
