I have been able to install and use wkHTMLtoPDF in my macOS and Windows apps for years, but now I want to install it on my x86-based Debian 12 REST server. While it is installed and running, whenever I try to use a switch in the command line (eg … --disable-external-links …) it gives the error ‘… is not support using unpatched qt’ for every switch ie
wkhtmltopdf --page-size A4 --load-error-handling abort --enable-smart-shrinking --margin-top 10 --margin-bottom 10 --minimum-font-size 10 --disable-javascript --disable-external-links --header-spacing 3 --header-font-size 10 --header-line --header-center "My PDF Title" --footer-spacing 3 --footer-font-size 8 --footer-line --footer-left "[date] [time]" --footer-right "Page [page] of [toPage]" --encoding UTF8 --orientation Portrait test.html test.pdf
creates a PDF (without the switch features) but returns the error:
The switch --enable-smart-shrinking, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --disable-external-links, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --header-spacing, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --header-font-size, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --header-line, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --header-center, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --footer-spacing, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --footer-font-size, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --footer-line, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --footer-left, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.The switch --footer-right, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.Loading page (1/2)

Done
I have tried both ‘wkhtmltox_0.12.6.1-2.bullseye_amd64.deb’ and ‘wkhtmltox_0.12.6.1-2.bullseye_i386.deb’ but both give the same error.
I have searched the internet and tried to find out how to ‘patch qt’ without success.
Has anyone managed to get wkHTMLtoPDF working fully on Debian 12?
