This tutorial is going to show you how to fix "Odoo warning - Wkhtmltopdf failed" error. Whtmltopdf is required to print reports in pdf. If you don't have it installed in older Odoo versions you will get an error as in the title, in newer versions the reports will be displayed in HTML format.
Start from backing up your server. If you will install the wrong dependency it might be very hard to fix it.
Visit the Odoo documentation and check what is the Wkhtmltopdf recommended version for your Odoo (https://www.odoo.com/documentation/9.0/setup/install.html)
Sample execution(For Ubuntu 16,04):
cd ~wget https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/releases/download/0.12.3/wkhtmltox-0.12.3_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
tar vxf wkhtmltox-0.12.3_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz
wkhtmltopdf --version
The last line will tell you what is the version installed. Remember to restart the server(not only the Odoo) to apply the changes.
Check if the pdf reports are printing
Log in to Odoo and check if everything prints ok.
If it does not work the first time don't panic. Try to restart Odoo and restart the server again.
Errors -11 and -6 may also be caused by Odoo setup. If it happens please check the Odoo config file and add more memory to limit_memory_hard.
