Wkhtmltopdf

The version of wkhtmltopdf available in Debian/Ubuntu repositories does not support headers and footers (requires patched QT version). As there is no official release for Debian Jessie in the official downloads page, you can find ours on http://nightly.odoo.com/extra/.

• 0.12.0(.*): minimal supported version as of Odoo 8
• 0.12.1(.*): recommended version - In production on Odoo Online (.deb for Debian jessie)
  • Some known crashes during layout of multi-page tables (workaround: randomly play with margins and/or dpi)
  • Known exponential memory usage and file descriptors usage when rendering documents with many pages (500+). Workaround: increase fd limit with ulimit, remove header/footers (internal layout). Experimental fix: split the long table in smaller chunks and use pyPdf to merge the pages.
• 0.12.2(.*): not recommended
  • --dpi parameter broken, causes ugly/broken layout
  • fails to execute external JS file in header/footer (Supposedly fixed in 0.12.3)
• 0.12.3(.*): not released yet
  • --dpi parameter still broken, causes ugly/broken layout
