Agreed for using EXEC instead of SHELL. (but he wants to expand *.html).
Anyway, you can use tickmarks (single quotes) instead of double quotes
in your command line.
If the text enclosed by single quotes does not need to be expanded by
the shell, then single quotes are good if not better. Don't put
asterisks inside single quotes, unless you really mean "*" and not "all
files".
Your command line could be:
EXEC "wkhtmltopdf *.html /tmp/temp.pdf --toc --header-right 'Page
[page]' ... ..."
' see "Page [page]" surrounded by ticks
