Cannot generate PDF

Hi All,
I’ve been keeping up to date with updates, however I’ve recently found that my PDF generation is now failing with a server error:

raceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/tony/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/app.py”, line 66, in application
response = frappe.api.handle()
File “/home/tony/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/api.py”, line 56, in handle
return frappe.handler.handle()
File “/home/tony/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/handler.py”, line 32, in handle
return build_response(“json”)
File “/home/tony/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/utils/response.py”, line 50, in build_response
KeyError: u’pdf’
Status: 500

I’ve searched but I seem to be the only person with this issue. Can anyone point me at where to look and how to debug this

wkhtmltopdf runs to generate the pdf file.

A search here on that will land you pointers how to test confirm that command works

Probably Exit with code 1 due to network error: UnknownNetworkError · Issue #3923 · wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf · GitHub

Try:

sudo apt install libssl1.0-dev

Else, read up on updating to the latest version.
