Hi,

Thanks for using our plugin.

Yes, the error message says that there's no wkhtml binary.

According to the first paragraph in the documentation: 

After installing you should be ready to go, but in a lot of cases, you will have to set an absolute path to the executable binary of wkhtmltopdf in backend settings.

Wkhtmltopdf is a normal executable file in your system. You may have it in the default directory but sometimes it's somewhere else, or installed somewhere totally outside the project. Open settings, save them, and see if that helps. But if not you'll have to find working binary that handles pdf generation and set it in the settings.

Thanks,

Tomasz Strojny

In fact, on my Macbook, I couldn't even find an Anydesk-type remote controller for a long time. So I'm not surprised you were in that situation and had to look for a way out. As a freelance worker, it was important for me to be able to connect to a client's remote access device at any time and set everything up. It's convenient. Therefore, when I switched to Macbook, I immediately started looking for a substitute for this program, which I used on Windows devices. Luckily I managed to find a sensible article on this topic here https://setapp.com/app-reviews/anydesk-alternative-for-mac, so I found what I was looking for without any problems. Maybe it will be useful for you too. Good luck.
