Package: wkhtmltopdf
Version: 0.12.3.2-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The man page declares 

   --page-height <unitreal>

to be a "Global Option" and states, 

   For a more fine grained control over the page
   size the --page-height and --page-width options
   may be used

Suppose a test file, test.html, contains a simple
html test document.

The invocation

   wkhtmltopdf --page-height 25cm test.html out.pdf

produces an output file having page size A4 (as
reported by pdfinfo).

The expected result would be an output file having
a page size with a length of 25 cm.

Same situation occurs with several other tested
page heights, including page heights specified in
other units (mm) and no units.

If the --page-height option works only in the
builds of wkhtmltopdf "compiled against a version
of QT with the wkhtmltopdf patches," I would
expect an error message indicating that.

If "25cm" not valid as a value for the
--page-height option, I would expect an error
message indicating that.

Best regards,

--Neil Ormos
