So, while thinking about this I thought I'd modify the permissions to the end file to 755, then I modified the /examples directory permissions to 777 and the current only fail message is:
Failed! Test running PDF conversion program on server

Testing pdf binary with command: /usr/home2/letitfly/public_html/lifgAdmin/plugins/createPDF/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf-i386 -V
Result: 0 bytes returned
Error: No output returned from command! (Exit code: 2)


and the output window displays:
/usr/home2/letitfly/public_html/lifgAdmin/plugins/createPDF/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf-i386: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


is this a syntax error in the plugin?

Hi equinox69,

I'm guessing it's a server configuration issue. Can you please fill out your FTP details with a [url http://www.interactivetools.com/support/]Second Level Support Request[/url] and I can take a look? Please include my name and a link to this forum thread.
All the best,
Chris

Just by way of an update. One of my hosts has quietly installed the fontConfig libs needed for this to work. Dave (II's fearless leader) was able to install it safely on that one server.
Another main server politely declined again to install it on a shared box, suggesting that I move to their "cloud" service or other higher-level services.

The option to run this by proxy, as suggested by Dave, looks promising though.
