Download and install wkhtmltopdf

now copy wkhtmltopdf folder from program files and paste in c:/ drive now copy all the files from inner wkhtmltopdf folder and paste in c:/wkhtmltopdf folder

Everything looks good for windows local server. But would you please tell us about real server where may do not available wkhtmltopdf. I like to use composer to install h4cc/wkhtmltoimage-i386 inside my vendor (project folder). It does not work in local server as well as real server. Its 32-bit operating system.

My issue solved with command

‘binary’ => ‘C:/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe’,

When i am using this commands i m facing error

‘binary’ => base_path(‘vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-i386/bin/wkhtmltopdf-i386’)

I think this command is for linux only?
