Synopsis:
wkhtmltopdf [GLOBAL OPTION]... [OBJECT]... <output file>
Document objects:
wkhtmltopdf is able to put several objects into the output file, an object is
either a single webpage, a cover webpage or a table of content. The objects
are put into the output document in the order they are specified on the
command line, options can be specified on a per object basis or in the global
options area. Options from the Global Options section can only be placed in
the global options area
A page objects puts the content of a singe webpage into the output document.
(page)? <input url/file name> [PAGE OPTION]...
Options for the page object can be placed in the global options and the page
options areas. The applicable options can be found in the Page Options and
Headers And Footer Options sections.
A cover objects puts the content of a singe webpage into the output document,
the page does not appear in the table of content, and does not have headers
and footers.
cover <input url/file name> [PAGE OPTION]...
All options that can be specified for a page object can also be specified for
a cover.
A table of content object inserts a table of content into the output document.
toc [TOC OPTION]...
All options that can be specified for a page object can also be specified for
a toc, further more the options from the TOC Options section can also be
applied. The table of content is generated via XSLT which means that it can be
styled to look however you want it to look. To get an aide of how to do this
you can dump the default xslt document by supplying the
--dump-default-toc-xsl, and the outline it works on by supplying
--dump-outline, see the Outline Options section.

Reduced Functionality:
This version of wkhtmltopdf has been compiled against a version of QT without
the wkhtmltopdf patches. Therefore some features are missing, if you need
these features please use the static version.
Currently the list of features only supported with patch QT includes:
* Printing more then one HTML document into a PDF file.
* Running without an X11 server.
* Adding a document outline to the PDF file.
* Adding headers and footers to the PDF file.
* Generating a table of contents.
* Adding links in the generated PDF file.
* Printing using the screen media-type.
* Disabling the smart shrink feature of webkit.
