<div>I need to use wkhtmltopdf on a web site for work but we ran into an issue since we couldn't install any software to the root directory on the server. We decided to try and compile the source ourselves and keep everything in the home folder.</div><div></div><div></div><div>In Putty, after logging into my server, at root myname:# I downloaded pdfkit using apt-get, and downloaded wkhtmltopdf. And I go to python by typing python on the command. And I am trying to convert a url into a pdf file by typing in python;</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>download wkhtmltopdf linux</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/Si0Al0QB1N </div><div></div><div></div><div>I thought I had done all those things correctly (my development machine is Kubuntu 64-bit), but I had put the wkhtmltopdf executable into the wrong location. Moving it to where you suggested did the trick ('m guessing that my development stack worked because it was able to find the executable elsewhere in my PATH).</div><div></div><div></div><div>When working with web applications, you may occasionally need to convert HTML content into images or PDFs. In my case, I stumbled upon this requirement and, after a quick search, I discovered a fantastic open-source package called wkhtmltopdf. This powerful package provides an efficient solution for such conversions, offering two command-line tools: wkhtmltopdf for converting HTML to PDF, and wkhtmltoimage for converting HTML to various image formats. You can support the authors here:</div><div></div><div></div><div>While the wkhtmltopdf package is conveniently included in Windows plans by default, I ran into a challenge when I switched to a Linux plan. My application began throwing exceptions, and I soon realized that the tools were not pre-installed on Linux hosts. Since Azure spins up a new host/container with each application start and any data outside the /home directory is not persisted, just installing the package is not enough. This article will walk you through the steps to install wkhtmltopdf on Azure Linux App Service Plans during app startup, ensuring seamless integration with your application.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Using the regular packages available for wkhtmltopdf 0.12.1 results in dependency errors on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but Odoo needs the version 0.12.1 to work properly. How can I install wkhtmltopdf 0.12.1 properly on Ubuntu 18.04?</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I installed the "wkhtmltopdf-.12.1.3". and confiqure the company "Document Template". its work fine for SO,PO,invoices. But when i take print of the product label or product barcode it will show the error like "Wkhtmltopdf failed (error code: -8). Message: b'' .! can you please help me to solve this.!</div><div></div><div></div><div>I found this comment page from an external googling of my own problems, and this is the most up-to-date discussion of the 'wkhtmltopdf' version hell that Odoo -- and we by extension -- finds ourselves embroiled in. Your statement that "Version 0.12.1 is still the version recommended by Odoo" is only true up to Odoo 9. For Odoo 10 and beyond, version 0.12.5 is the recommended version. (See ).</div><div></div><div></div><div>This post is about the installation of wkthmltopdf version 0.12.1 and not about other versions of wkhtmltopdf. Version 0.12.1 is still the version recommended by Odoo (see official documentation) and there is a reason for it. If you don't know about the reasons or if you do not care about, then it is up to you to install the version you like, but please do not hijack this clear and specific thread.</div><div></div><div></div><div>As of 12/4/2020, my deployment server is running Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS, my development machine is running MacOS 10.15.7, and both are running ruby 2.6.6p146 & Rails 6.0.3.3. The relevant gems are pdfkit 0.8.4.3.2 & wkhtmltopdf-binary 0.12.6.5.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>After fixing the above two issues, I was able to create PDF files of my report web page; however, the resulting PDF was of the login page, so apparently authentication was failing. Previously to upgrading ruby & Rails, it was sufficient to pass a cookie option to wkhtmltopdf (see line 1):</div><div></div><div></div><div>The root of the problem seems to be that the value of the cookie now needs to be escaped via: CGI.escape(cookies['__session']). After doing this, wkhtmltopdf was able to successfully authenticate.</div><div></div><div></div><div>As mentioned above, we were using Snappy in our PHP application for converting HTML to PDF. However, Snappy has a dependency on having the wkhtmltopdf binary installed on the server the PHP application is running on.</div><div></div><div></div><div>wkHTMLtoPDF is an open-source and cross-platform tool that can convert HTML pages to PDF. This is a command-line utility and it is pretty easy to use. The syntax for using the tool is fairly simple, enter the name wkhtmltopdf, followed by the URL of the web page, and the name of the PDF that you want to create, like so.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Here is my Shell command:</div><div></div><div>/Users/davidcox/Library/Containers/com.bambamsoftware.bambambilling/Data/Library/Application\ Support/Helpers/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf --page-size A4 --load-error-handling ignore --enable-smart-shrinking --margin-top 10 --margin-bottom 10 --encoding UTF8 --orientation Portrait file:///Users/davidcox/Library/Containers/com.bambamsoftware.bambambilling/Data/Library/Application%20Support/BamBam%20Billing/Downloads/2021-12-16_14-46-29/ReportFile_2021-12-16_14-46-29.html /Users/davidcox/Library/Containers/com.bambamsoftware.bambambilling/Data/Library/Application\ Support/BamBam\ Billing/Downloads/2021\-12\-16_14\-46\-29/BamBam\ Billing\ Export\ 2021\-12\-16\ 14\-46\-29.PDF</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hey, I tried your solution but it didn't seem to work but I did a bit of troubleshooting and I got it to output in PDF format. I googled A bit until I came across this webpage "  aadimator/odoo-wkhtmltopdf-installation-df0f47104c60" where it explains how to remove and install wkhtmltopdf, I followed it step by step but the version of wkhtmltopdf was outdated. It did give me a PDF output but the output was just plain text and looked nothing like the preview I was seeing on Odoo.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I think this is unlikely (as I would have expected others to complain sooner), but on other possibility that has just occurred to me is that perhaps the version of wkhtmltopdf that we preinstall from Debian repos) is sub-optimal when used with Odoo?</div><div></div><div></div><div>The search service can find package by either name (apache),provides(webserver), absolute file names (/usr/bin/apache),binaries (gprof) or shared libraries (libXm.so.2) instandard path. It does not support multiple arguments yet... The System and Arch are optional added filters, for exampleSystem could be "redhat", "redhat-7.2", "mandrake" or "gnome", Arch could be "i386" or "src", etc. depending on your system. System Arch RPM resource wkhtmltopdfwkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are command line tools torender HTML into PDF and various image formats using the Qt Webkit renderingengine. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or displayservice.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Creating pdf via php is either super expensive1 or a pain in the ass2. Or you can install the Python based WeasyPrint3, a headless Chrome4 or wkHTMLtoPDF which I was able to setup on an Ionos (former 1und1) managed server environment (using the static linux version of wkhtmltopdf).</div><div></div><div></div><div>All major browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari are capable of exporting the currently visited website from HTML to PDF. This can be done via the print or save as function. However, there is no standard way of doing so on the command-line. Lets build a command-line with the following goals in mind: a small footprint, minimal dependencies, composing existing technology, many options for full control of the PDF generation process and a simple usage on Linux, Mac and Windows. To achieve this, I decided to use the well documented and maintained command-line utility wkhtmltopdf and a Alpine Linux based Docker image, to make it available on all platforms with Docker support.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Since wkhtmltopdf uses the webkit engine to render PDFs, there is no way around the qt5-qtwebkit dependency. However, it is possible to avoid Xorg. I was able to find a GitHub repository that provides a solution, by compiling a qt-webkit version without the need for Xorg.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Open your account in jsreportonline and notice the list of affected templates in the modal. Then clone the affected templates and either change the recipe to the chrome-pdf or select from the phantom pdf/phantomjs version respectively wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf version combo the version without -windows postfix. Then follow the migration hints below and test if the template works properly. If everything is fine, change the original template and remove the cloned template.</div><div></div><div></div><div>While keeping the same recipe and just switching to Linux version is easier for the migration, we strongly recommend investing time and migrating to the chrome-pdf recipe. This recipe is the best choice for pdf rendering. The phantomjs project is suspended and also wkhtmltopdf isn't actively developed and we may stop supporting them in the future completely (although it isn't currently planned).</div><div></div><div></div><div>For printing-related purposes, Odoo 16 requires a wkhtmltopdf version higher than 0.12.2. Wkhtmltopdf is an open-source command line tool to render HTML data into PDF format using Qt webkit. To install wkhtmltopdf on your Ubuntu 22.04 server, follow the steps below.</div><div></div><div></div><div>To get the best results, saving a webpage as a PDF using a browser seems to be the way to go. But, if you want more options and go through the terminal, the wkhtmltopdf utility should come in handy.</div><div></div><div></div><div>This article introduces a simpler tool, the open source wkhtmltopdf utility. I will show you how to use wkhtmltopdf to solve a common scenario: You have an HTML form, parameterized to accept input data, and you need to produce a PDF from the data in that form. You will learn how to set up your data and make a call to the wkhtmltopdf utility from a Spring Boot web application. We'll use Red Hat's Universal Base Image (UBI) 8 as a base image to simplify the application build, then deploy the final image into Red Hat Openshift 4.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The following Controller class displays a generated PDF. One of the class's most important tasks is to display the PDF properly in a browser; this task is achieved by setting up a proper MediaType that produces an application/pdf content-type header. Another important task is to call an external process that runs wkhtmltopdf to trigger the conversion from HTML to PDF:</div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
