wkhtmltopdf for Debian 13 (trixie) / Odoo 19

This fork of the archived wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf builds the wkhtmltox package with patched Qt for Debian 13 (trixie), amd64, and tests it the way Odoo 19 calls it.

• Download: Releases
• Installation, Odoo settings and known limitations: ODOO.md (in Chinese)
• Build: packaging/build-trixie.sh in a debian:trixie container, see ODOO.md

Changes from the official bookworm package:

• depends on the Debian 13 package names (libssl3t64, libpng16-16t64, ...);
• Chinese text copied from PDFs no longer turns into CJK radicals;
• Simplified Chinese glyphs (Noto CJK SC) are preferred;
• WKHTMLTOPDF_ALLOWED_HOSTS restricts which hosts a render may reach.

The rendering engine is Qt 4.8.7 / QtWebKit, which is no longer maintained: use it only for trusted HTML such as Odoo's own reports.

wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage

wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are command line tools to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the QT Webkit rendering engine. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or display service.

See https://wkhtmltopdf.org for updated documentation.
