Hi Saravanan,

Try below steps :

  1. Download wicked pdf file
    if your machine is 64 bit
    http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2

if your machine is 32 bit
http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2

  1. cd /usr/local/bin
    extract the zipped file inside /usr/loca/bin folder using command

if your prodcution machine is 32 bit tar -xvjf
wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
if your machine is 64 bit tar -xvjf
wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2

3.if your machine is 32 bit sudo mv wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386
wkhtmltopdf
if your machine is 64 bit sudo mv wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64
wkhtmltopdf

  1. vi project_folder/vendor/plugin/wickedpdf/lib/wicked_pdf.rb
    in the method def pdf_from_string

add a line i.e (setting a path) @exe_path=“/usr/local/bin/wickedpdf”
b4 the line command ="#{@exe_path}…etc "
