I have setup PDFKit in my Rails 3 application, using RVM (had to manually copy the wkhtmltopdf binary). When I try to render the PDF version of a page, I get this error:
RuntimeError in AgenciesController#show command failed: ["lib/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf", "--disable-smart-shrinking", "--page-size", "Letter", "--margin-top", "0.75in", "--margin-right", "0.75in", "--margin-bottom", "0.75in", "--margin-left", "0.75in", "--encoding", "UTF-8", "--quiet", "\n.......\n", "-"]
The following is in my applicaition.rb:
config.middleware.use "PDFKit::Middleware" PDFKit.configure do |config| config.wkhtmltopdf = 'lib/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf' end
An ideas why this is happening? how can I fix it?
In the console, I noticed this message:
(sometimes it will work just to ignore this error with --ignore-load-errors)
Where do I invoke that switch? wkhtmltopdf seems to be working fine on the command line, I can do something like "./wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com google.pdf" and generate a PDF.
Thanks for your help,
Peter
Judging from the source code, you can set options on pdfkit. I think the following will work:
PDFKit.configure do |config|
config.default_options[:ignore_load_errors] = true
end
(I didn't test it though)
