I have downloaded v0.12 from wkhtmltopdf site, extrated the file to usr/bin.
I have created a record
Settings > Configuration > Parameters > System Parameters name âwebkit_pathâ set the value to /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf/ tried /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf/bin/
still I am getting an error saying it is not found when I try to print a report.
Any ideas ?
The steps that I found to work for me on debian wheezy are:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/wkhtmltopdf/0.12.1-dev/wkhtmltox-0.12.1-9615f00_linux-wheezy-amd64.deb
dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1-9615f00_linux-wheezy-amd64.deb
Then in /etc/init.d/openerp-server add /usr/local/bin to the front of path environment variable, e.g.
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Then restart openerp and all is well.
Thank you So much !
Yes that did the trick for me:
Using Ubuntu 14.04:
I had to reboot to get it working. Probably a restart of the openerp-server also does the trick.

I have manage to get it to work by doing the installation of wkhtmltopdf in ubuntu via apt-get install.
I was getting wrong version message so, I then copy the wkhtmltopdf file from the archive from wkhtmltopdf website and replaced the file that ubuntu installed in /usr/bin/.
It does work properly now. Dunno if I will get issues later on since I have not replaced the libs that comes in the archive.
Will keep updating this if any issue arise !
Hi Christian, I am facing a similar issue. Exactly which version of the wkhtmltopdf did you copy to the bin folder
install wkhtmltopdf via ubuntu then, download the 0.12 version from wkhtmltopdf web site, open the archive and copy the file to the bin folder
Hi Christian, I think you might find that there is no need to do an apt-get install of the older version of wkhtmltopdf. The 0.12 version being copied to /usr/bin should work, as I have it implemented in a script here (line #97): https://github.com/lukebranch/openerp-install-scripts/blob/master/odoo-saas4/ubuntu-14-04/odoo_install.sh . You may find you get conflicts down the road once the version you have installed with apt gets updated to the 0.12 version.
I made it work on Windows.
You have to follow this thread: https://www.odoo.com/fr_FR/forum/help-1/question/how-tu-print-a-pdf-with-qweb-wkhtmltopdf-v8-on-windows-tutorial-64326
The most important, do not confuse Environnement variables and System variables
We need do add the wkhtmltopdf path into Path System Variable and NOT in Environnement variables.
Do not forget to restart odoo server after this !
Thanks !
Anyone made it work on Windows? Where should I bind the binary...I put it in "PATH" variable... still no luck...
It gives me the same error and it loads in HTML.
I will eventually move to Linux... but Windows should work too right?
Thanks

THREE months past since this last question or request for an answer and no one replied from Odoo.... I am in the same trouble, installed Odoo v8 on Windows 8.1 Pro and cannot create any doc in pdf (nor in html) due to the same missing app (in spite of that I installed it manually.
I think I should make it clear that the OP problem is that he is inserting the directory path of wkhtmltopdf to the webkit_path option. The correct value is the path to wkhtmltopdf executable. Below is the example of the setting, depends on your installation path.
linux: webkit_path = /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
windows: webkit_path = c:\program files\wkhtmltopdf\wkhtmltopdf.exe
Other option is not to use webkit_path. It can be done if you put wkhtmltopdf executable in environment PATH or the same directory as openerp-server script. I think the webkit_path option is more secure and easier to maintain, because it determine specifically what odoo can execute.

Unable to find Wkhtmltopdf on this system. The report will be shown in html.
Still, I dont even get it in html.
