# wkhtmltopdf-heroku

Provides a [wkhtmltopdf](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/) binary for [Heroku](http://www.heroku.com/) Ubuntu 16.04 LTS environment.

Preconfigures [pdfkit](https://rubygems.org/gems/pdfkit), [wicked_pdf](https://rubygems.org/gems/wicked_pdf), and [wisepdf](http://rubygems.org/gems/wisepdf) to use this binary if they are loaded.

## Installation

In your `Gemfile`:

```ruby
  gem 'wkhtmltopdf-heroku'
```

## Usage

### When using with `wicked_pdf`

Since `wicked_pdf` overwrites its `config` hash in the initializer, you
will need to update it to make sure its `exe_path` is configured
correctly.

If you don't need any extra configurations, you can simply remove the
initializer. Or you can change it to:

```ruby
WickedPdf.config ||= {}
WickedPdf.config.merge!({
  # your extra configurations here
})
```

### When using with `pdf_kit` or `wisepdf`

No extra configuration is needed. But please make sure you are not
re-configuring the binary path again in their initializer files.

### When using with other gems

You will need to configure the path manually. You can get the path to
the executable by using this: `Gem.bin_path('wkhtmltopdf-heroku', 'wkhtmltopdf-linux-amd64')`
