what file?

[Feqg]

what is the file to add this: 'binary' => base_path('vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64'), And its route, thank you

[barryvdh]

It is the path to the wkhtmltopdf binary. If you install it via composer (see readme) it looks something like that. And there is no route for it.

[Feqg]

i am using laravel, so i dont understand that, i want to create a pdf but the new pdf is blank. thank you

[barryvdh]

Did you follow the instructions as linked in the readme? https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy#wkhtmltopdf-binary-as-composer-dependencies You can try running the binary to see if it works. This is just a wrapper for Snappy, which is a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf, so see there for more info. If it doesnt work, maybe https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf is a simpler solution..

[Feqg]

with laravel-dompdf i have problem with css bootstrap 3, the pdf is mixed up. i installed this: { "require": { "h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64": "0.11.0-RC1", "h4cc/wkhtmltoimage-amd64": "0.11.0-RC1" } } and runned "update composer"...

do i have to do this?

<?php

use Knp\Snappy\Pdf;

$myProjetDirectory = '/path/to/my/project';

$snappy = new Pdf($myProjectDirectory . '/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-i386/bin/wkhtmltopdf-i386');

// or

$snappy = new Pdf($myProjectDirectory . '/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64');

and where?

[barryvdh]

No just use the examples in the readme. And check your log for errors. Op 3 mrt. 2014 07:44 schreef "Feqg" notifications@github.com:

[Feqg]

only i got this

from this example:

$pdf = App::make('snappy.pdf.wrapper'); $pdf->loadHTML('Test'); return $pdf->stream();

from readme. thak you

[barryvdh]

No errors in your error log? Perhaps you don't have the correct package for your system.

[csoutham]

This took me a while to figure out too. On a Mac I needed to installed an older version of wkhtmltopdf into my /usr/local/bin and then reference it in the package config file. There seems to be a bit of build problem with latest wkhtmltopdf on the Mac too.

I can see the confusion in your readme doc - the config path mentioned at the top needs to go in your package config once published.

[hardy2defy]

im having the same issue as Feqg, it only displays a gray background with the loading thing without even moving

I tried using these binary path, still not working.

 'binary' => base_path().'/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-i386/bin/wkhtmltopdf-i386',
 'binary' => base_path().'\vendor\h4cc\wkhtmltopdf-i386\bin\wkhtmltopdf-i386',

[barryvdh]

And does the binary work standalone for you?

[barryvdh]

1. make sure you have the right package (i386 vs amd64)
2. Update to the h4cc 0.12.x release (if you are stil on 0.11.rc2)
3. Test if the path is correct by running it with --version (eg. from your base dir: vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 --version)
4. Try to generate a pdf: vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 http://google.com google.pdf

If google.pdf displays the google website, your wkhtmltopdf install is working, and the problem lies here. Otherwise it is a problem with wkhtmltopdf.

[silverdr]

The original question was: "what is the file to add this: 'binary' => base_path('vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64')".

readme.md says: "You have to set the binary location in the config file"

I have the very same question as the original: what is the "config file" I have to set the binary location in?

[barryvdh]

Publish the config:

php artisan config:publish barryvdh/laravel-snappy

Then it should be in app/config/packages/barryvdh/laravel-snappy/config.php

[silverdr]

Thanks! This works.

There is one more thing, however. The binaries installed according to the instructions you link to are dynamically linked and the installation does not take care of dependencies. Hence the binaries fail when run:

vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64: error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Sure I know it's not your "fault". It's just that a few additional words about those issues in the readme.md would be quite useful.

Regards.

[barryvdh]

Sure, feel free to submit a PR to improve the Readme

[silverdr]

Fair enough ;-)

When installing I got a suggestion to use google/ instead of h4cc/ and the suggestion named a 0.11.??-RC1 (or similar). I don't know if it is related but maybe you know / experienced something similar. The version installed gives me invalid pdfs and when run from command line it says (among seemingly correct messages) that:

Fontconfig warning: ignoring UTF-8: not a valid region tag   ] 33%

Any clues? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have some troubles configuring the directive addOptions() in Knp/Snappy/Image.php.

I use laravel4 and I use Snappy to get thumbs of html code edited by users. All works but one thing: thumbs won't load images. Below my addOptions conf:

$this->addOptions(array(

Is there any documentation that explain clearly those options? By the way where I goes wrong?

Thanks.

You should probably ask at https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy THis is just a wrapper for Laravel

[Hesesses]

I'm getting this error:

vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64: error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas how to fix this?

[silverdr]

By installing libXrender? There is a sentence about it at the beginning of README.md…

[chikitovivas]

how to set up the bootstrap grid, for this pdf generator?

[majidkamal-vbase]

where to add this line 'binary' => base_path('vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64'). and also i am unable to run this command php artisan config:publish barryvdh/laravel-snappy.

[brudascacosmin]

Hi, I just installed laravel-snappy, and try to follow example from readme: $pdf = App::make('snappy.pdf.wrapper'); $pdf->loadView('invoice.show', [ $data ]); return $pdf->download('invoice.pdf'); But i see the fallowing error in log: Invalid request (Unexpected EOF) If I use loadHtml function it work fine. Any ideas how to figure out what it is happening here?
