Default save2pdf function...

Hello all,

Does anyone knows what kit should be installed to enable "Save to PDF"?

We've tried "wkhtmltopdf" but does not work. Any idea?

wkhtmltopdf should be installed,
Can you test wkhtmltopdf installation by opening BILLmanager url such as 'wkhtmltopdf https://server/manager/billmgr' command ? Is it work?

We found that the core issue is in the wkhtmltopdf's dependencies.
The server is very clean and kept with minimum kits and need to figured out which kits makes wkhtmltopdf works.

Currently wkhtmltopdf works but the output is in squares.

Install fonts to server - ttf-dejavu package for example

Thank you Slava! It now works!

So, in case some other users struggle with same issue, here is the fix for CentOS:

1. Download and unzip the static binary of wkhtmltopdf and extract the archive under "/usr/local/sbin".
2. yum install dejavu*
3. Go to BILLmanager -> Global Settings -> Settings (TAB) -> "Path to the HTML2PDF converter file" -> /usr/local/sbin/wkhtmltopdf-i386
