Hey. Can you check the output of:
which wkhtmltopdf
from command line?

It should be /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

Thanks,
Anand.

Hi @anand ,

The response to “which wkhtmltopdf” is the same

/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

What is the output of

wkhtmltopdf --margin-top 15mm --margin-right 15mm --page-size A4 --encoding UTF-8 --background --print-media-type --images --margin-left 15mm --no-outline --margin-bottom 15mm https://en.wikipedia.org /tmp/f73bb79af6ca7dcd93919a11de5303be588ee061ec9d56bc5c0d22fd.pdf

?

This vindicates wkhtmltopdf and you seem to have permissions to /tmp

Does this happen for all documents?

7

@pdvyas
Yes, it does happen for all documents

@pdvyas
Whats the installation method used for wkhtmltopdf?

@pdvyas
Hi,
I think its something to do with the version . What is the version required ?

10

I don’t think wkhtmltopdf is at fault here. You can try the latest version from wkhtmltopdf
