# 4d-component-wkhtmltopdf
4D wrapper for wkhtmltopdf
### Discussion
It is very hard to use ``libwkhtmltopdf`` as a plugin-style module for 4D. The menu bar is corrupted, the event loop is disrupted...just not worth it. Much easier to run the CLI with ``LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS``. Thankfully the command is now thread safe.
#### About Apple Silicon
see https://wkhtmltopdf.org/status
there is no native support (needs Rosetta 2)
#### About Notarisation
If ``wkhtmltopdf`` is notarised without entitlements,
i.e.
```sh
codesign
--verbose
--deep
--timestamp
--force
--sign "Developer ID Application: keisuke miyako (Y69CWUC25B)"
--options=runtime
```
it will not work anymore.
```
Loading pages (1/6)
Bus error: 10 ] 10%
```
It must be codesigned and notarised with sufficient entitlements.
### Usage
Pass the [standard arguments](https://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt) in camelcase.
```
$path:=Get 4D folder(Current resources folder)+"test.html"
$html:=Document to text($path;"utf-8")
C_OBJECT($options)
$options:=New object
$options.grayscale:=True
$options.dpi:=72
$options.logLevel:="none"
$options.externalLinks:=False
$options.collate:=False
$options.copies:=1
$options.imageDpi:=300
$options.imageQuality:=100
$options.lowquality:=True
$options.orientation:="Landscape" //Portrait
$options.marginBottom:="0mm"
$options.marginLeft:="0mm"
$options.marginRight:="0mm"
$options.marginTop:="0mm"
//$options.pageHeight:="30cm"
//$options.pageWidth:="30cm"
$options.pageSize:="A4"
$options.title:="TEST"
$options.pdfCompression:=False
$options.outline:=True
$options.outlineDepth:=8
$options.background:=True
$options.loadErrorHandling:="skip" //abort,ignore
$options.loadMediaErrorHandling:="skip" //abort,ignore
$options.localFileAccess:=True
//$options.minimumFontSize:=20
$options.zoom:=2
//repeatable properties not implemented;
//allow,bypassProxyFor,cookie*,customHeader,post,postFile,runScript,replace
$pdf:=wkhtmltopdf ($options;$html;"utf-8")
//$pdf is empty in case of conversion failure
//$options.errors[] may contain error information (may not be failure)
//$options.value contains the command line string
If (BLOB size($pdf)#0)
$path:=System folder(Desktop)+Generate UUID+".pdf"
BLOB TO DOCUMENT($path;$pdf)
OPEN URL($path)
End if
```
