Hard to reply without seeing the actual code. First thing to check is make sure that your Windows and Ubuntu run the same version of python as well as Wkhtmltopdf.

when the pdf is generated not able to copy the text once the pdf is generated on ubuntu

What do you mean by copy the text? Do you want to use it in a variable? Please provide the relevant parts of your code so we can help you further. Also post any error message you may be getting when running on Ubuntu.
