How can i install wkhtmltopdf in civicrm and set the path to the exe. I am using Civicrm with Wordpress. Any help will be appreciated.

Download the compiled binaries for your system from http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html to your server and extract to somewhere convenient. The files need to be readable by the account running the webserver. Then go to Administer >> System Settings >> Misc and enter the path to the wkhtmltopdf.

So I'm trying to install wkhtmltopdf. Did this so far - wget download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.3/… tar xf wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.3/wkhtmltox-0.12.3_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz to /tmp sudo mv wkhtmltopdf/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf – Joe McLaughlin Jul 12 '16 at 2:49

Does it matter that wkhtmltopdf is in /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltox/bin/wkhtmltopdf? Or must wkhtmltopdf be in /usr/local/bin? And - for Path to wkhtmltopdf executable at Administer -> System Settings -> Misc ((Undelete, PDFs, Limits, Logging, Captcha, etc.) - not sure exactly what to enter Is it /var/www/[xxx]/[mysite]/sites... something? Any help appreciated! – Joe McLaughlin Jul 12 '16 at 2:50

It can be anywhere, providing the id running your webserver can run it. The 'path' under Administer > System Settings > Misc is just the OS path - eg /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf – Aidan♦ Jul 12 '16 at 11:11

Doesn't work in a Windows environment under 4.7.23 - CiviCRM claims C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe where the executable is stored does not exist or is invalid. – Stephen Palmstrom Aug 11 '17 at 9:34

Check this out: Could CiviCRM 4.5 or 4.6 make it easier to generate large numbers of PDFs at once?
I came across that by googling wkhtmltopdf civicrm by the way ;)
