PDF not generated on OS X #1

When compiling markdown in atom, HTML is generated but no PDF (output is set as either PDF or HTML+PDF) Though when using wkhtmltopdf (see below) in CLI, it works well.

wkhtmltopdf myfile.md myfile.pdf

Did you set the correct path to your wkhtmltopdf binary in gfm-pdf settings? It should look like this 

/my/path/wkhtmltopdf

I did a which wkhtmltopdf which showed :

/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf

It seems to be the default value, but I also tried to hard set it in the settings. No luck.

It shows no error complaining it can't find the executable though.

Maybe this could be useful : I installed wkhtmltopdf with brew cask install wkhtmltopdf.

It works flawlessly using Terminal to generate the PDF from the HTML that gfm-pdfoutputs.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem on my system. I'm running OS X, too. Maybe it has something to do with permissions:

I tried your suggestion with no luck, still only the html is generated and no complain from atom/gfm-pdf. Isn't there some debug information I could provide ?
