I presume that you have checked that
/var/www/apps/staging/shared/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin/wkhtmltopdf exists.
Or is that the wrong path?

Yes Colin L… The path is wrong. now i corrected under

config/initializers/wicked_pdf.rb

WickedPdf.config = {
:exe_path => ‘/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf’
}

Thanks for the reply :slight_smile:

Also using the gem ‘wkhtmltopdf_binary’ will do the trick. you would no
longer need to create config/initializers/wicked_pdf.rb.
