We need to write a little shell script to wrap wkhtmltopdf in xvfb. Make a file called wkhtmltopdf.sh and add the following:

  xvfb-run -a -s "-screen 0 1024x768x24" wkhtmltopdf "$@"

Move this shell script to /usr/local/bin, and set permissions:

  sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh

Check to see if it works once again: run

  /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh http://www.google.com test.pdf

  Now just ensure that your Plugin configuration for CakePdf looks like this:

  $config['CakePdf'] = array(
	'engine' => 'CakePdf.WkHtmlToPdf',
	'binary' => '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf.sh',
	'pageSize' => 'legal',
);

The CakePdf script should be calling your script (*.sh rather than the binary file directly)
