/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Generating above error while working with wicked_pdf for creating pdf from html in rails in production

This is my code in controller

render pdf: "Project_#{Time.now.strftime("%B %d, %Y").gsub(',','').gsub(' ','_')}.pdf",
 #:show_as_html => true,
 template: "work_orders/print_trade.pdf.erb",
 orientation: 'Landscape',
 page_size: 'Legal',
 wkhtmltopdf: '/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf',

margin: {
  top: 27,
  bottom: 40,
  left: 20,
  right: 20
},
header: {
  spacing: 10,
  html: {
    template: 'work_order_pdf/header.html.erb'
  }
},
footer: {
  spacing: 5,
  html: {
    template: 'work_order_pdf/footer.html.erb'
  }
}

Error in log :-

RuntimeError (Error: Failed to execute:
["/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf", "-q", "--orientation", "Landscape", "--page-size", "Legal", "--margin-top", "27", "--margin-bottom", "40", "--margin-left", "20", "--margin-right", "20", "--header-spacing", "10", "--header-html", "file:////tmp/wicked_header_pdf20151126-3990-ttmmjg.html", "--footer-spacing", "5", "--footer-html", "file:////tmp/wicked_footer_pdf20151126-3990-6tmvq3.html", "file:////tmp/wicked_pdf20151126-3990-1r6mnm6.html", "/tmp/wicked_pdf_generated_file20151126-3990-10ir53b.pdf"]

It seems that you give the path to the binary in the controller. I think you need to run rails generate wicked_pdf and put the binary path in the initializer.
