wkhtmltopdf margin between body and footer

Question

I am generating a report using wkhtmltopdf, this reports contains texts with a variable length for this reason I not always can force the page break, sometimes wkhtmltopdf has to do it for me.

I am trying to find out if there is any way of forcing a margin between the footer introduced with wkthtmltopdf (--footer-left foo --footter-right [page]) and the body of the page.

I have already tried with the CSS margin-bottom but it does not work since it is applied to the end of the html not the page breaking.

And i have also tried the wkhtmltopdf margin bottom "-B 10mm" but it does not work since it is also applied to the footer.

Any clues please?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I tried and tried and the solution for this problem is to use wkhtmltopdf flag:

--footer-spacing

Answer 2

I've run into this problem myself. The footer-spacing option is indeed what you want to do. You can also specify a negative amount of spacing if need be (that's what I had to do on my own project).
