I have purchased unlimited license for createPDF and have never been able to get it to function correctly. Server admin says it is because we run FreeBSD and this was not designed for that. I am lost.

Here is the server info from admin in cms
Operating System FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE
Web Server Apache
Database Server MySQL v5.1.58 (Max Connections: 151)
PHP Version PHP v5.3.6

here is the results of testing server requirements for createPDF

Passed! Run external program on server
Testing shell_exec() with command: pwd
Result: /usr/local/www/test.stoddardmls.com/cmsAdmin

Failed! Test running PDF conversion program on server
Testing pdf binary with command: /usr/local/www/test.stoddardmls.com/cmsAdmin/plugins/createPDF/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf-i386 -V
Result: 0 bytes returned
Error: No output returned from command! (Exit code: 2)

Passed! Test downloading content from remote URL
Downloading content from url with: getPage('http://www.google.com/');
Result: HTTP status code 200

Passed! Test converting a web page to a PDF
Created PDF with: HTML from: http://www.google.com/;
Result: 83 byte PDF returned

Visually review PDF output
Visually inspect the PDF below, correct any error message, then make sure the graphics and fonts display as expected:

/usr/local/www/test.stoddardmls.com/cmsAdmin/plugins/createPDF/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf-i386: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

-----------------------

We need some direction on how to make this function correctly
