I want to convert html to pdf, and I use wkhtmltopdf.

But print size is smaller than I supposed. I want to try --disable-smart-shrinking option but error occured like

$ xvfb-run -- /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf --disable-smart-shrinking $INPUT $OUTPUT
The switch --disable-smart-shrinking, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.Loading page (1/2)
Printing pages (2/2)
Done

Maybe I have to install wkhtmltopdf with patched qt, but I don't know how to install.

I saw following size, but gitorious.org doesn't work.

wkhtmltopdf patched qt?

My OS is Ubuntu14.04, and wkhtmltopdf version is 0.12.2.1

If you know other reason to be printed smaller, tell me please. thanks.

This straightforward solution (no need to install xvfb, neither compiling QT neither wkhtmltopdf) works like a charm on my Debian Jessie server :

cd mytmpfolder
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.4/wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
sudo tar xvf wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
sudo mv wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmlto* /usr/bin/
#create simple html test file
echo "<html><body>test</body></html>" >> test.html
#perform conversion
sudo wkhtmltopdf  --disable-smart-shrinking  --lowquality --enable-external-links --enable-internal-links test.html test.pdf

You can install wkhtmltopdf with --disable-smart-shrinking option from wkhtmltopdf.

Download and Install it.

http://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt

The Document say

wkhtmltopdf 0.12.2.1 (with patched qt)

and

--disable-smart-shrinking Disable the intelligent shrinking strategy used by WebKit that makes the pixel/dpi ratio none constant

Steps to Install Version 0.12.3 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Because I wasted way too much time tracking this down, here it is for others stumbling on this: 

cd ~
wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.3/wkhtmltox-0.12.3_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar vxf wkhtmltox-0.12.3_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz 
cp wkhtmltox/bin/wk* /usr/local/bin/

And you can confirm with:

$ wkhtmltopdf --version
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.3 (with patched qt)

Btw, I chose 0.12.3 instead of 0.12.4 because of a strange page sizing issue, discussed here.
