Small Text in PDF #1

Closed gracepark closed 7 years ago

gracepark commented 7 years ago

Hi there! It looks like the text when in the PDF is fairly tiny. I've attached the .md and .pdf file.

testing_pdfify.pdf

This was the markdown:

## Testing pdfify

### TEST
**This is so cool**
  - Thanks **Steve**!

### New UPDATE
  - This is working now!

I had an original issue with installing wkhtmltopdf, but I was able to fix that by updating the lastest versions of Homebrew, Homebrew-Cask, and all Taps.

The version of wkhtmltopdf I have is{ wkhtmltopdf 0.12.4 (with patched qt)

Let me know if there's anything I can test to help out! <3

Thanks for the bug report, @gracepark.

Definitely something odd going on here. This is the output I'm getting from that same Markdown:

@gracepark, when you run pdfify, you should see a line of output like:

/var/folders/_q/4594nnj94wb7kll_9hl7tk340000gn/T/tmp.RJ0vJUow/XXXX.html

Could you grab that HTML file and upload here? :pray:

Thank you :bow:

gracepark commented 7 years ago

@swinton - Yes! I got this: /var/folders/bg/73v8k2k101q3tv2m8kb53k3w0000gn/T/tmp.MTORqafg/testing_pdfify.html

swinton commented 7 years ago

/var/folders/bg/73v8k2k101q3tv2m8kb53k3w0000gn/T/tmp.MTORqafg/testing_pdfify.html

:+1:

Could you copy the contents of that file here? I.e.

cat /var/folders/bg/73v8k2k101q3tv2m8kb53k3w0000gn/T/tmp.MTORqafg/testing_pdfify.html | pbcopy

and paste here 👍

@swinton ^ Hope that helps!

Some potentially useful things here:

Things to try:

swinton commented 7 years ago

The issue was caused by @gracepark's MAHOOSIVE screen, it seems. :smile:

Running pdfify on a smaller screen rectified. Adding --print-media-type fixed it.

hectorsector commented 7 years ago

@swinton I experienced this issue, and then it didn't happen anymore, but now it's happening again. I took a hammer to your script and tried all the suggestions in the blog post as well as some more I found from a Google search, featuring such diddy's as --dpi XX, --zoom X, and fixing the HTML container width. DPI and Zoom worked, but I imagine that's inconsistent across machines.

swinton commented 7 years ago

@hectorsector could you please make sure you're running the latest version of pdfify, brew upgrade pdfify? 🙏

hectorsector commented 7 years ago

Yessir 😢 Error: swinton/brews/pdfify 0.1.2 already installed

swinton commented 7 years ago

@hectorsector, that's strange.

Could you open a separate issue in this repo?

If you could include the output from the /var/... file, as @gracepark did above, that would be most helpful :bow:

🔖 There's also this (seemingly) related question on StackOverflow that I've been monitoring.

swinton commented 7 years ago

One more question for you, @hectorsector...

What version of wkhtmltopdf are you running (wkhtmltopdf --version)?

I see this issue, that reports font differences between 0.12.3 and 0.12.4. I'm running 0.12.3.

$ wkhtmltopdf --version
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.3 (with patched qt)
