I had a similar issue with PDFKit when I was deploying my app on Heroku. Now, it's working fine (I've included the binary to the project).
In my layout:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Page title</title>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
<%= Rails.application.assets['my_css'].to_s.gsub(/\/assets/,"#{root_url}assets") %>
</style>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
In the initializers:
# config/initializers/pdfkit.rb
PDFKit.configure do |config|
if Rails.env.staging? || Rails.env.production?
config.wkhtmltopdf = Rails.root.join('bin', 'wkhtmltopdf-amd64').to_s
else
config.wkhtmltopdf = '/Users/my_user_name/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0@my_project/bin/wkhtmltopdf'
end
config.default_options = {
:page_size => 'A4',
:margin_top => '0in',
:margin_right => '0in',
:margin_bottom => '0in',
:margin_left => '0in',
:orientation => 'Portrait'
}
# Use only if your external hostname is unavailable on the server.
config.root_url = "http://localhost:3000" unless Rails.env.staging? || Rails.env.production?
end
Maybe that could help you... or someone else...
