Wicked pdf without rendering header / footer

I am using wicked_pdf to generate pdffrom htmlin my rails project. This is a rendering template, but I was not able to print the sections header/footer. Below is my code that only prints a templatesection

render pdf: "pdf_name",
               layout: 'application',
               template: 'reports/show',
               formats: [:html],
               margin: { top: 10, bottom: 10, left: 10, right: 10 },
               disable_javascript: true,
               show_as_html: params[:debug],
               header: {
                 html: { template: 'shared/header' },
                 spacing: 10
               },
               footer: {
                 html: { template: 'shared/footer' },
                 spacing: 30,
                 line: true
               }

If I try to use WickedPdf.new.pdf_from_string render_to_string, it shows an error Failed to load PDF document, even a simple one WickedPdf.new.pdf_from_string('<html><body><h1>Hello There!</h1></body></html>')does not work.

I tried to use render_to_string_with_wicked_pdf, render_with_wicked_pdf, but did not succeed. My version of the Rails 3.2.19, wicked_pdfversion gem - 1.1.0and wkhtmltopdfversion wkhtmltopdf-0.13.0-alpha-7b36694_linux-trusty-amd64.deb. I also tried using the wkhtmltopdfversion 0.12.0.

My questions

  • Why is my implementation above not working?
  • Why pdf_from_stringdoesn’t work?

Any help is appreciated. Thank.
