Header and Footer not Displaying in PDF Output #258
Issue Description:
I am using the pdfkit library to convert HTML content to a PDF file with specified header and footer HTML. However, the header and footer are not showing up in the generated PDF.Also, it is not working when I pass HTML local paths in 'header-html' and 'footer-html' options.
Code Snippet:
importpdfkitdefconvert_html_to_pdf(html_content, output_pdf, header_html, footer_html):
options= {
'page-size': 'A4',
'no-images': '',
'margin-top': '15mm',
'margin-right': '15mm',
'margin-bottom': '15mm',
'margin-left': '15mm',
'header-html': header_html,
'footer-html': footer_html,
}
pdfkit.from_string(html_content, output_pdf, options=options)
if__name__=="__main__":

Hello, I'm facing the same issue when adding header elements to the generated PDF files. The simplest way I found was to add the header directly in the HTML and control it using the CSS @media property.

Getting the same issue. Tried giving footer.html path as well as the footer_str. But still nothing is coming on the footer.

problem solved here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34274637/pdfkit-headers-and-footers
pdfkit require .html files as header/footer, so making temp files will solve the problem
it's not the perfect solution, but it's how it will make it work
