How to install wkhtmltopdf with patched qt?

I want to convert html to pdf, and I use wkhtmltopdf.

But print size is smaller than I supposed. I want to try --disable-smart-shrinking option but error occured like

$ xvfb-run -- /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf --disable-smart-shrinking $INPUT $OUTPUT
The switch --disable-smart-shrinking, is not support using unpatched qt, and will be ignored.Loading page (1/2)
Printing pages (2/2)
Done

Maybe I have to install wkhtmltopdf with patched qt, but I don't know how to install.

I saw following size, but gitorious.org doesn't work.

wkhtmltopdf patched qt?

My OS is Ubuntu14.04, and wkhtmltopdf version is 0.12.2.1

If you know other reason to be printed smaller, tell me please. thanks.
