    // Initialise
    $pdf = new MCS\HtmlToPdf($html, $pathToWkhtmltopdf);

    // Add a command before the wkhtmltopdf command
    $pdf->addBeforeCommand('unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH');

    // Add wkhtmltopdf parameters, second parameter is optional. See: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/usage/wkhtmltopdf.txt
    $pdf->setParam('grayscale');
