I believe wkhtmltopdf will pick up links to stylesheets in your HTML, however, they need to be absolute paths, not relative. You could hack it and pull your HTML, then your CSS, and embed the CSS directly into the head of the HTML. This is probably not the best practice though. Also, to get a page-break, use the CSS rule page-break-before or page-break-after and make sure you are running a build of wkhtmltopdf that is built against the patched QT.
