I'm having this same issue on on Ubuntu VPS 14.04

For Windows this is the answer but I have no knowledge of Linux

Control panel -> System -> 
    Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment variables

Add the following to your path right at the end 
;C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin

On windows platform. Try to add the following parameter in .conf file of your odoo version. Don't forget to restart your odoo server afterwards. 

bin_path = C:/Program Files/wkhtmltopdf/bin


It works for me.

I have exactly the same error, but in Ubuntu 14.04, the problem comes from the PATH definition. Make sure that PATH contains /usr/locan/bin (where mkhtmltopdf is installed) in the case of Ubuntu, specifically in a startup file, like /etc/init.d/odoo-server.

For me i solved this problem by adding this line to conf file, restarted the server and it works: 

bin_path = D:\Odooe\Odoo14e\thirdparty

PS : i have   odoo14 on windows10

Works Perfectly on my Ubuntu 18 Odoo 12 and Odoo13

Commands to execute:
sudo wget https://builds.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12.1.3/wkhtmltox_0.12.1.3-1~bionic_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.1.3-1~bionic_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin


After a service reboot or server reboot, it'll work.

Same commands can be used for Ubuntu 20.04 as well. just changed the file name accordingly.

The recommended version of wkhtmltopdf for Odoo 10 and higher is 0.12.5. You can not simply copy/paste the above commands, they must be adapted according to the wkhtmltopdf version and the Ubuntu version.

Hi, 

I had this issue resolved on windows 7 by modifying the PATH environment variable. Add at the end of the line ;C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\

then restart the system. 

If you run wkhtmltopdf in a command window and get the help description, then you are good.

I've tried In W7 64b -> Control panel -> System -->   Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment variables and found the value path then added ;C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin at the end of value.

At Odoo settings-> System parameter -> Key:  webkit_path   Value:  C:\PROGRA~1\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe then reboot.

Now it seems to work but it generates a PDF without footer, but HTML is fine, any clue?

Update Odoo to the latest version.

@GH Mediaclud, I've updated and now its generating PDF without footer, changed to HTML and footer is right... I've followed https://github.com/odoo/odoo/issues/1105 but footer still missing, did you fix it?

Best Answer

I have the same problem. I've tried everything but without a positive reaction. The system always say that wkhtmltopdf could'nt be found.

On a Win7 32Bit System everything is OK, so it must be in the difference between 32 Bit and 64 Bit.

On Ubuntu 14.04 try this

Download file

sudo wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb

Navigate to downloaded directory and install package

sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb

Copy the files for your odoo user accessibility

Navigate to installation DIR cd /usr/local/bin

Copy

sudo cp wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin/wkhtmltoimage

sudo cp wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf

Restart your Odoo Server and Enjoy.

On windows platform. It works for me.
1. Add to file config odoo 
bin_path = C:\Users\..\wkhtmltox\bin
2. Add to system parameters odoo
key = bin_path , value = C:\Users\..\wkhtmltox\bin
3. Restart Odoo.

Did you restart your server? It might pick it up when starting OpenERP.

Yes I restarted my server but the problem persists. Actually I restarted my computer. Is this a known bug or something to do with Windows?

Not that I know of, but then again I have no experience of running Odoo on windows.

I am going to install on a Windows machine. By monthend I will be the Windows man

Billiard

I believe it's because the space between "Program Files", try enclosing the value with "" or better yet set as the old DOS style: C:\PROGRA~1\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe

Restart odoo and try.

Control panel -> System ->
