Answer 1

There is option –header-html & –footer-html to provide html header externally with your command

1) html file

wkhtmltopdf http://domain.com/pagetopdf.html --footer-html "footer.html" /path/to/folder/test.pdf

2) You can also pass text into footer & header as below

wkhtmltopdf http://domain.com/pagetopdf.html --footer-center "Hello Footer" /path/to/folder/test.pdf

There are so many other options to use see this link
