I'm having trouble generating a PDF out of a html page.
I'm using PDFkit. In the process of installing it, I noticed I needed wkhtmltopdf. So I installed it too. I did everything PDFkit's documentation said to do.. and now I'm getting this error when I try to load the PDF.
Here is the error:
command failed: "/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf" "--margin-right" "0.75in" "--page-size" "Letter" "--margin-top" "0.75in" "--margin-bottom" "0.75in" "--encoding" "UTF-8" "--margin-left" "0.75in" "--quiet" "-" "-"
Any idea of what this could be?
Thanks
I have the following configuration in my rails application. I tested it in irb and it worked well.
PDFKit.configure do |config|
config.wkhtmltopdf = `which wkhtmltopdf`.to_s.strip
config.default_options = {
:encoding=>"UTF-8",
:page_size=>"A4",
:margin_top=>"0.25in",
:margin_right=>"1in",
:margin_bottom=>"0.25in",
:margin_left=>"1in",
:disable_smart_shrinking=>false
}
end
You need to set the path to wkhtmlpdf executable file.
