I am facing the same issue but I am on Ubuntu 18.04.

@AbhayLodhi Have you tried to just output pdf?

I noticed that I can output pdf or even manually save but when I try to call ->save(...) then it throws the exception.

When I run the command manually for example:

wkhtmltopdf 'tmp/knp_snappyXXXXXXXXXXXX.html' 'test.pdf'

I get following error:

Loading pages (1/6) Error: Failed loading page http://tmp/knp_snappyXXXXXXXXXXXX.html (sometimes it will work just to ignore this error with --load-error-handling ignore) Exit with code 1 due to network error: HostNotFoundError

I see it tries to access tmp/knp_snappyXXXXXXXXXXXX.html as it is the URL instead of loading local file.

'timeout' => false,
'options' => array(),

after doing this i get that error.
RuntimeException
The exit status code '1' says something went wrong: stderr: "The system cannot find the path specified.

In my case it helped, because finally I found out, that wkhtmltopdf is already installed on my hosting and I still was getting similar error message:
The file '/tmp/knp_snappy5bdb29ed73ec01.07065997.pdf' was not created (command: /nfsmnt/hosting2_1/f/c/fcc203d9-a9c0-45a7-aae7-99f0743dd350/my_web/my_app/vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 --lowquality '/tmp/knp_snappy5bdb29ed73c7a0.60260250.html' '/tmp/knp_snappy5bdb29ed73ec01.07065997.pdf').

When I have commented line in snapy config file as described in my previous post, export to pdf started to work OK.
I also wanted to know, where is wkhtmltopdf installed on my hosting so I tried to run command on my hosting:
/home/my_web/my_app$ whereis wkhtmltopdf
wkhtmltopdf: /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

So as you see, wkhtmltopdg was already installed in "/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf"

Still facing this issue on Windows enviroment. I tried different approaches, but nothing works.
What I have done:

• testing command from laravel in cmd = working
• changed binary path many times = not working

I disabled removing temporary files in Abstract class -> php code generated temporary html file, so I hardcoded source file into load file. From cmd, everything is working properly, but not from PHP.

I also tried update access rights and set "Full control" to necessary folders, but nothing changed. Package is using fromShellCommandline() from Symfony. Then I tried to hardcode command, but again, no luck. Wkhtmltopdf is included in path enviroment vaue, but running command through shell_exec() is also not working.
