PDFCreator 1.04 and BlueHost shared hosting?

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the feedback. Have you tried contacting your hosting company to see if they'll install the library on the server?

Cheers,

Greg

Hi Greg,

Thanks for looking at this.

Yes I did and they don't seem to have much interest in installing what they consider custom stuff for specific clients in their shared hosting environment.

Interesting that that library did not seem to be required in any previous versions of the createPDF plugin.

Hi Jerry,

CreatePDf uses a linux binary program called wkhtmltopdf and requires a number of default linux libraries that are usually installed, but sometimes not.  

Your options would be ask the host about better plans (virtual private hosting, managed hosting, etc) that might support it, or to set up a proxy server on a server you control such as pdf.yourWebAgency.com and use the proxying features to send all PDF requests through there.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for weighing in.

Any real downside to using 1.03?

Seems to work with that one.

Hi Jerry, If a previous version works then yes I'd try that.  

It would be because it's a previous version of wkhtmltopdf I imagine.  

Can you let me know if it does work?  

Thanks!

HI Dave,

1.03 seems to work fine, so I think I'll stick with that.

Best,
