Drupal 7.59 / Civi 4.7.27

I use Views extensively, and would like to add https://www.drupal.org/project/views_data_export_pdf module.

As per the Module documentation, a prerequisite is the installation of wkhtmltopdf Library (https://wkhtmltopdf.org/), which should result in the following structure :

  • sites/all/libraries/phpwkhtmltopdf

  • sites/all/libraries/phpwkhtmltopdf/scr

  • sites/all/libraries/phpwkhtmltopdf/scr/Pdf.php

But I don't find those files in the wkhtmltox-0.12.4_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz dowload, especially no Pdf.php

I am not a programmer, and thus not familiar with Libraries installation : any help would be welcome

WARNING: wkhtmltopdf is no longer under active development and its latest tagged release of 0.12.6 from June 2020 (https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/tree/0.12.6) is insecure and should not be used (https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-35583).

  • Thank you Pete : I just installed drupal.org/project/printfriendly : but I can't have the button on a View Page (I have it only on Pages (without Views) and Webforms) : what did I miss ?

As Pete says, not really a Civi question ... but since it is here:

I think there is a typo in the installation instructions at https://www.drupal.org/project/views_data_export_pdf

The first step reads:

Place WkHtmlToPdf library under ...

but should be:

Place phpwkhtmltopdf library under ...

phpwkhtmltopdf provides the php files you listed, not WkHtmlToPdf

Note also that 'scr' in the file list should be 'src'
