PHP wkhtmltopdf

This class is a slim wrapper around wkhtmltopdf.

It provides a simple and clean interface to ease PDF creation with wkhtmltopdf. The wkhtmltopdf binary must be installed and working on your system. The static binary is preferred but this class should also work with the non static version, even though a lot of features will be missing.
