Description When I tried using wkhtmltopdf for PDF export, all I got was 0 byte files. I turns out this is because the system running wkhtmltopdf must have an X server installed to work. This is not the case with my headless server, and I imagine that most web servers do not run X.
Solution Either make a note in the documentation that you must run an X server alongside wkhtmltopdf, check this when the PDF option is enabled in the admin panel, or check to see if wkhtmltopdf is returning 0 byte files and handle appropriately.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
