Hello Guys i serached it on google and find answer on a blog.Thanks guys.
Solution is here.
(1)# first, installing dependencies
$sudo aptitude install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev
(2)# for 64bits OS Run one by one following commands.
$sudo wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
$sudo tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
$sudo mv wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
$sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
Finally Go to your rails app/config/initializer Folder and create new file pdfkit.rb and paste following code in it.
PDFKit.configure do |config|
config.wkhtmltopdf = '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf' if Rails.env.production?
end
Thats it.Now your pdf file will be download.
Also visit for further information

Thanks.
Also Guys if you want to to get your PDF View as it looks in your Web Page copy the following code in your config/initializer/pdfkit.rb(create this file in initializer folder)
PDFKit.configure do |config|
config.wkhtmltopdf ='/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf'
config.default_options = {
:encoding=>"UTF-8",
:page_size=>"Ledger",
:zoom => '1.3',
:disable_smart_shrinking=>false
}
end
Plese check this link for more ":page_size "attributes

Hope This all will help you.
Thanks.
make sure you have the right binary version of bit according to your operating system. I had experienced a wrong version problem when I use the 32 bit binary onto a 64bit ubuntu.
you need to upgrade to wkhtmltopdf ( 0.12.2.1 woked for me)
http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html
ubuntu 14.04 users may get into dependancy problem when installing https://askubuntu.com/a/625225/106182
In case of you are calling through rails controller, make sure that you set layout false.

{ Error: Command failed: identify: delegate failed `'ufraw-batch' --silent --create-id=also --out-type=png --out-depth=16 '--output=%u.png' '%i'' # error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1919.

I got an issue while working with ImageMagick in my node application I did the search but can't get the proper solution for my problem.
Edit: ufraw is no longer maintained, so use at your own risk and see dcraw alternative lower down.
You need to install 'ufraw-batch'
sudo apt-get install ufraw-batch
If this does not work, as it did for me. I got a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
This seems to be common problem with ufraw: https://sourceforge.net/p/ufraw/bugs/
It does not seem to get update much anymore, at least not in the main repos.
Converting RAW image into other types of image you can use DCRaw (it is also used by UFRaw).
Here is an example to convert a .cr2 image to a .png:
dcraw -c -w "./IMG_1.CR2" | pnmtopng > "./IMG_1.png";
Macos:
brew install ufraw
Solved it for me
I am using following environment:
Ubunut : 11.0 (virtual machine)
Imagemagick : ImageMagick-6.9.3-7
I have execut following command:
wget http://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar xzvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
ls
cd ImageMagick<version number here>/
./configure
make clean
make
sudo make install
ldconfig /usr/local/lib
After executing below command:
make check
40 test case 39 pass only 1 is fail (FAIL: tests/wandtest.tap 1)
Now i want to convert pdf file to jpg via command:
convert test.pdf test.jpg
convert: no decode delegate for this image format PNG' # error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501.
convert: no images definedtest.jpg' # error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3252
convert test.pdf test.png
convert: no decode delegate for this image format PNG' # error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501.
convert: no images definedtest.png' # error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3252.
anyone can suggest me how can i do ?
ImageMagick uses assorted external libraries to do its dirty work as far as input and output handling goes for various formats. In your case:
For reading PDFs, you need to have Ghostscript installed. Also it needs to be in your path as gs in order to work, so don't use that for some other shell alias. For more details see: https://superuser.com/q/819277/33767
For writing PNGs you'll need libpng.
Once those things are on your system (and in the case you compiled IM yourself, on your system at the time of compile) you should be golden.
It may be that the issue is not with the writing but with the reading of the PDF itself.
Check the ImageMagick policy.xml.
sudo nano /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml
Find the PDF and change to this:
<policy domain="coder" rights="read|write" pattern="PDF" />
This solved for me.
Same problem. Solved it with:
apt-get -y install ghostscript
I am attempting to rebuild my development/test environment on a new laptop running windows7 32 bit. imageMagick is one of the modules I had installed in an (ancient) version on my old laptop. I have downloaded and installed perl from dwimperl, which is v5.14.2 and had a couple modules install, and several did not.
cpanm Image::Magick - failed
cpanm DB_File - failed
cpanm Time::HiRes - failed
I searched around and found a discussion on magick failing to install on v5.12, but couldn't tell if that was supposed to have been fixed, or if I need to attempt to recreate the fix discussed for 5.12
should I try installing perl from Strawberry? looks like it is a little newer v5.18 ?
is there something I can tweak and re-run cpan installs?
I installed the binaries from imagemagick, from Link first, then cpan again, and cpan still fails....
This is the top part of the build log down to where it really goes south and starts kicking out errors:

Is ImageMagick is in your path, as recommanded in the 4) point? Open cmd.exe and type convert -v or convert.exe -v. If you don't see informations about Image Magick (Windows have a built-in convert command), it is very likely you have to add it to your path.
You also have to check points 1), 3), and 5). After that try again to run installation process through cpanm.
Trying to install for Citrus Perl, I discovered on debugging through the Perl part of the install that the mingw64 install had not included 'pexports.exe'. Downloading that from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/pexports/
and placing it in the mingw64 directory was necessary to solve the problem of a long list of library export symbols not found.
Prior to that I had also set the environment variables CPATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH, and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH to point to the "include" directory of the ImageMagick install include directory in C:\Program Files (x86). (When you install ImageMagick you should check the box to install also for Strawberry Perl.)
Here's an odd little problem that's led me to post my first question on SO. I am using wkhtmltopdf to convert an HTML document to a PDF as part of a Rails app. To do so, I am rendering the Rails web page to a static HTML file in a temp directory, copying a static header, footer and images to the same temp directory, then executing wkhtmltopdf using "system".
This works perfectly in Development and Test environments. In my Staging env, it does not. I suspected permissions at first, but the first couple of parts of that process (creating the HTML static files and copying them to the directory) are working. I can run wkhtmltopdf from the command line in that temp directory and get the expected outcome. Finally, I ran wkhtmltopdf via both "system" and backticks through the Rails console in staging environment, and here's what I get as output:
> `wkhtmltopdf --footer-html tmp/invoices/footer.html --header-html tmp/invoices/header.html -s Letter -L 0in -R 0in -T 0.5in -B 1in tmp/invoices/test.html tmp/invoices/this.pdf`
Loading pages (1/6)
QPainter::begin(): Returned false ] 10%
Error: Unable to write to destination
Error: Failed loading page http://tmp/invoices/test.html (sometimes it will work just to ignore this error with --load-error-handling ignore) => ""
Notice that last bit. I'm pointing to local files, but it's looking for them via http. OK, I think, maybe I need to be explicit and feed it the file:// protocol so it doesn't look for http. So I try this:
> system("wkhtmltopdf --footer-html file://Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/footer.html --header-html file://Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/header.html -s Letter -L 0in -R 0in -T 0.5in -B 1in file://Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/test.html file://Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/this.pdf")
Loading pages (1/6)
Error: Failed loading page file://library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/test.html (sometimes it will work just to ignore this error with --load-error-handling ignore)
=> false
Notice that this one fails with a lowercase "l" on Library. What the heck? (And no, it doesn't get any better with the recommendation to ignore the error with that switch.)
Any ideas? Is there a Rails or Ruby setting that would cause system commands to get rewritten? Is there an option I can add to wkhtmltopdf to make sure it loads from local file? I'm quite baffled. Thanks!
I have had success when using the absolute file path (notice the extra slash after the file://)
wkhtmltopdf --footer-html file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/footer.html --header-html file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/header.html -s Letter -L 0in -R 0in -T 0.5in -B 1in file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/test.html file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/intranet-staging/current/tmp/invoices/this.pdf
This is the same on windows
Unix path
file:///absolute/path/to/file

In last 0.11 whicked-pdf i found one bug
Example
C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\wicked_pdf-0.11.0\lib>wicked_pdf.rb
Line 198 I change from:
options[hf][:html][:url] = "file://#{tf.path}" to options[hf][:html][:url] = "file:///#{tf.path}" - (change // to ///)
After change whicked-pdf again worked.
Take a look at the wicked_pdf gem.
You can add a PDF mime type and then whatever page you want pdf'd, just tack on a .pdf to the URL.
I am using this in prod and it works quite well.
No need to call wkhtmltopdf directly.
When I run a command on my Ubuntu 12 server I get the following warning...
etc/bash.bashrc: line 2: GREP_OPTIONS: command not found
I've probably messed something up by uninstalling various Rails pieces. How can I fix this? This is for the root user. Thanks.
The beginning of my bashrc file has the following...
type rvm >/dev/null 2>/dev/null || echo ${PATH} | GREP_OPTIONS \grep
"" > /dev/null || export PATH="${PATH}:"
It appears that you have uninstalled rvm from your system, as it cannot find $rvm_path_bin. I would recommend commenting out the line from /etc/bash.bashrc.
