yeah i have installed as a plugin . the code is in vendor folder

Have you set the exe path in the initializer? You need to tell wickedpdf
where the wkhtmltopdf binary is

[Jim Ruther Nill]

i think you only installed the gem.  Look at https://github.com/mileszs/wicked_pdf/wiki/Getting-Started-Installing-wkhtmltopdf

on how to install the binary

Hi keerthi,

   I think this issue relates to proper installation & configuration of wicked_pdf.

Cheers,

Vijay

this is my wicked_pdf.rb in config/initilizers

WickedPdf.config = {
    :wkhtmltopdf => '/opt/wkhtmltopdf',
    :layout => "pdf.html",
    :margin => {    :top=> 40,
                    :bottom => 20,
                    :left=> 30,
                    :right => 30},
    :header => {:html => { :template=> 'layouts/pdf_header.html'}},
    :footer => {:html => { :template=> 'layouts/pdf_footer.html'}}
    #:exe_path => '/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf'

You need to be sure that your exe_path is that on file, if its not you just need to point out to the right place, the past year I need to do something like that, and I realized that my path was wrong. Hope its help.

#:exe_path => '/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

the fact here is here is wkhtmltopdf, I strictly recommend you to install through the project's week and it will work fine.
