First setup you have to do Uninstall the wkhtmltopdf package:

sudo apt-get remove wkhtmltopdf --purge

Now Second Step Install Stable Wkhtmltopdf Version Navigate to a temporary directory:

cd /tmp

Download the recommended version of wkhtmltopdf for Odoo server. In this example, we use 0.12.1. See the Odoo repository for an up-to-date list of compatible versions:

sudo wget https://downloads.wkhtmltopdf.org/0.12/0.12.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb

Install the package using dpkg:

sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb

To ensure wkhtmltopdf functions properly, copy the binaries to a location in your executable path:

sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf /usr/bin
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltoimage /usr/bin

Note: While wkhtmltopdf version 0.12.2.4 is available in the official Ubuntu 16.04 repository, we don’t advise installing it from there due to the large number of dependencies including: xserver, gstreamer, libcups, wayland, qt5 and many more. There isn’t an official Xenial package from the project page yet, but the Trusty package from Ubuntu 14.04 is compatible as of this publication.
