install multiple versions of wkhtmltopdf on the same CentOS 7 machine

[Vinodh Soundarajan]

Hello,

We notice that the outputs of wkhtmltopdf is different on 12.2 vs 12.5.  There are pros and cons in using either version.  Given this, we wanted to install both the versions on the same CentOS 7 server.  We can then programatically use one or the other depending on expected outcome.

Can someone please guide on how to install two versions of wkhtmltopdf on the same machine.  All help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Any help please...

That's an interesting approach. I don't think wkhtmltopdf really requires installation so much. If you just put the executable in your bin path, I think you can all each one separately.

I see.  We will rename the executables and try that. Are there no common dependencies (libraries sl, so etc)

I think the pre-compiled binary is complete, except for fonts.

Hi, I have tried and confirmed running 0.12.5, 0.12.6 and 0.12.1-4 on debian buster.
I used dpkg -x wkhtmltox.deb
