Pdfkit - A4 html page does not print in A4 pdf format

I reproduced my problem below:

  • I am drawing a 210x297 rectangle on a webpage

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
div.rectangle {
  border: solid 1px;
  width: 210mm;
  height: 297mm;
}
</style>
<head>
</head> 
<body> 
<div class="rectangle">
  <img/>
</div>
</body>
</html>

  • I am converting this html document to pdf using pdfkit in Python

    import pdfkit

options = {
    'page-size':'A4',
    'encoding':'utf-8', 
    'margin-top':'0cm',
    'margin-bottom':'0cm',
    'margin-left':'0cm',
    'margin-right':'0cm'
}

pdfkit.from_file('test.html', 'test.pdf', options=options)

  • I am getting a pdf with a rectangle in the upper left corner, which is about 5 times smaller ...

I would really appreciate it if you could take a look!

For me, manually adjusting DPI works as a workaround:



options={'page-size':'A4', 'dpi':400}

you can try to disable compression via options like below



options = { 'disable-smart-shrinking': ''}
