[barryvdh]

did you install wkhtml2pdf in that dir? If not, install It there or change the path in the config.

[umairali]

Please check this

[barryvdh]

Yeah so publish the config and change the location as described.

[umairali]

Thanks but now i am facing this error

[umairali]

I am using XAMP on windows 8.1

[umairali]

My issue solved with command

'binary' => 'C:/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe',

When i am using this commands i m facing error

'binary' => base_path('vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-i386/bin/wkhtmltopdf-i386')

I think this command is for linux only?

[umairali]

I'm having the exact same issue, if I follow umairali guide, it works.. However I want to install it using composer, not by installation exe file.. Install using composer doesn't generate any .exe file, and the file produce this error. Any suggestion is appreciated..

[NassarX]

@umairali Really Thank you for you answer it works prefectly now :)

[umairali]

You are very welcome. :)

i have the same problem as above. i am using laravel 5 and windows 8.1. i couldnt find config.php file in laravel 5. what do i have to do?

[umairali]

check snappy.php file in config folder

[NassarX]

You can publish the config-file with

php artisan vendor:publish

[arryanggaputra]

can we use binary config from the vendor? I don't want to install to my computer

[khushbupatel24]

hey umairali,

I have performed steps exactly said by you but I still get the same error

I have installed wkhtmltox-0.12.3-dev-79ff51e_msvc2013-win64.exe

in C: drive and also set path in

but still same error

please help

[umairali]

Find snappy.php file in config folder and change pdf binary path

'binary' => 'C:/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe',

[khushbupatel24]

Yah , my mistake....
After changing snappy.php in vendor folder using publish command changes automatically done in config/snappy.php

[jsgspotifi]

umairali, could you do a little tutorial, or steps on how to install the snappy. I found the instructions in the main website confusing. Thank you so much, this would be a great help!

[kailash10jangir]

I have the same error also. i am use this 'binary' => 'C:/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe', in my snappy.php by using this my whole website is not working. what should i do please help me

[umairali]

Can you share screenshot of your wkhtmltopdf folder in c drive

[sachinkumar121]

Change the content of snappy.php file as below(double quotes in single quotes)

'binary' => '"C:/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe"',

[Dictator1999]

Everything looks good for windows local server. But would you please tell us about real server where may do not available wkhtmltopdf. I like to use composer to install h4cc/wkhtmltoimage-i386 inside my vendor (project folder). It does not work in local server as well as real server. Its 32-bit operating system.

[msslgomez]

Having trouble with these commands, if I don't do them I get this same error but Laravel cmd is not letting me, says 'cp' is not recognized as an internal or external command

cp vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltoimage-amd64/bin/wkhtmltoimage-amd64 /usr/local/bin/
cp vendor/h4cc/wkhtmltopdf-amd64/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/local/bin/

How to do this on Windows or how can I fix this?
