Question

We all are trying to load a pdf with graph on it and send to email. However when trying to create a pdf file it shows error as failed with out error.

We are using library called as : "barryvdh/laravel-snappy": "^1.0"

Have installed library called as wkhtml2pdf however still the issue remain same.

Controller file :

    public function download()
    {
        $render = view('graph')->render();
        $pdf = new Pdf;
        $pdf->addPage($render);
        $pdf->setOptions([
            'enable-javascript' => true,
            'javascript-delay' => 5000,
            'enable-smart-shrinking' => true,
            'no-stop-slow-scripts' => true,
            'binary' => '"C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf"'
        ]);
        if(!$pdf->saveAs('D:/report.pdf')){
            return $pdf->getError();
        }

        
        return response()->download('D:report.pdf');
    }

Blade File:

I already had a problem like this with wkhtmltopdf. My problem was related to wkhtmltopdf.exe which was not in the right place. The link in my code does not match the location of wkhtmltopdf.exe

Make sure that your wkhtmltopdf.exe is in the "C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe" and not else where. If it is not in the right place move the whole folder.

I hope this will help you
