I'm trying to get a PDF file from my HTML template using pdfkit library and wkhtmltopdf but I get an error and I don't find any solutions on Stackoverflow.
I read this topic : Can't create pdf using python PDFKIT Error : " No wkhtmltopdf executable found:"
But nothing for the moment ...
I tried two things :
def BirthCertificate_PDF(request, id) :
birthcertificate = get_object_or_404(BirthCertificate, pk=id)
pdfkit.from_file('BC_raw.html','test.pdf')
return render(request, 'BC_raw.html', {"birthcertificate" : birthcertificate})
and
def BirthCertificate_PDF(request, id) :
birthcertificate = get_object_or_404(BirthCertificate, pk=id)
path_wkhtmltopdf = r'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wkhtmltopdf'
config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf = path_wkhtmltopdf)
pdfkit.from_file('BC_raw.html','test.pdf', configuration = config)
return render(request, 'BC_raw.html', {"birthcertificate" : birthcertificate})
And I get this error each time :
Exception Value:
No wkhtmltopdf executable found: "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wkhtmltopdf"
If this file exists please check that this process can read it.
I made : chmod 755 but still nothing.
Do you have a solution ?
EDIT :
I made ls -lth command :
MacBook-Pro-de-Valentin:site-packages valentinjungbluth$ ls -lth
total 8864

I found the solution thanks to @Hackerman @yorodm and @moopet :
I have to install binary file (MacOSX version) :
wkhtmltopdf Binary paquet
Now it works !
