Hi all
With wkhtmltopdf now not supporting current releases of OS eg Rocky 8 or 9 and it wont run with the Almalinux either on the server what will become of the PDF plugin?
I have a need for a new project that requires to create a lot of PDF from webpages how do we go about this?

Hi Craig,
I uploaded some wkhtmltopdf binaries for AlmaLinux 8 and 9. Can you try these steps:
- Go to: CMS Setup > Plugins > CreatePDF > Test Server Requirements
- At the top of that page click "download updated binaries"
- Once that is done, reload the Test page and click "Test All Binaries"
- For each binary that shows "Passed" copy the filename into the top of your plugin here:
// leave this blank to auto-detect, or enter binary name from /createPDF/wkhtmltopdf/
$GLOBALS['CREATEPDF_BINARY_FILE'] = 'wkhtmltopdf-0.12.6.1-2.almalinux8.x86_64'; - Reload: CMS Setup > Plugins > CreatePDF > Test Server Requirements
- If all the tests don't pass try another binary.
Let me know if that works for you.

Hi Craig,
Can you fill out a support ticket and/or send me an email and I'll take a look.
wkhtmltopdf isn't well supported anymore, but we'll take a look and see if there's anything we can do to help.
Also, a fallback option is always to run a PDF-generating proxy on another server, that's a feature of the plugin.
