Can't create pdf using python PDFKIT Error : " No wkhtmltopdf executable found:"

The following should work without needing to modify the windows environment variables:

import pdfkitpath_wkhtmltopdf = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe'config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf=path_wkhtmltopdf)pdfkit.from_url("http://google.com", "out.pdf", configuration=config)

Assuming the path is correct of course (e.g. in my case it is r'C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe').

Please install wkhtmltopdf using,

sudo apt install -y wkhtmltopdf

for windows machine install it from below link, http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html

and you need to add wkhtmltopdf path into environment variables

IOError: 'No wkhtmltopdf executable found'

Make sure that you have wkhtmltopdf in your $PATH or set via custom configuration. where wkhtmltopdf in Windows or which wkhtmltopdf on Linux should return actual path to binary.

Adding this configuration line worked for me:

config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf="C:\\Program Files\\wkhtmltopdf\\bin\\wkhtmltopdf.exe")pdfkit.from_string(html, 'MyPDF.pdf', configuration=config)

From github

Seems you need to pass configuration=config as argument.
