B

Answer 1

I had the same issue in which my log showed the page had rendered however no pdf was generated and the browser would hang. It ended up having nothing to do with OS compatability, missing librariers, gems nor dependencies but instead I needed to raise the max allowable thread count for my Puma server (which had been set to 1) upto 2 or more. This then generated pdf's as normal.
