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?

Thanks

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 Dave

I have tried all them and none work with Rocky Linux.

Thanks
