Unable to generate pdf using wicked gem

Question

I tried using

render pdf: "users/user_information"

But I am unable to render it. I looked into the documentation as well but all in vain. Can anyone please tell me what am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

In the pdf: you have to mention the file name you want it to have on downloading.

format.pdf do render pdf: "file_name" # Excluding ".pdf" extension. end

Documentation - Basic Usage

As far as I have understood I guess you're using your own template from the view. You can use this.

render pdf: "User_#{@user.id}", template: 'users/user_information', layout: 'application'

Layout can be mentioned if you want the layout of the application, otherwise just skip it.
