ENOENT on generatePdf

[alex-mironov]

I'm facing issue with pdftk on mac. Apparently it cannot generate pdf:

      fillPdf.generatePdf({ name: 'alex' }, `${__dirname}/fixtures/form.pdf`, (err, output) => {
        if (err) {
          console.log(err)
        } else {
          console.log(output)
        }
      })

 { Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/tmp/119219-94314-hv0ys2.14oi.pdf'
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: '/tmp/119219-94314-hv0ys2.14oi.pdf' }
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/tmp/119219-94314-hv0ys2.14oi.pdf'

pdftk is installed:

 pdftk --version

Sorry for the delay. Is this still an issue? Looks like you are trying to read a file from tmp, instead of the one articulated in the first snippet.

I still have this same issue, did anyone found a workaround or a fix for this? I'm currently working on ubuntu. And this are my logs: Error in node

i think that my problem was that i had installed pdftk from snap. To fix this i uninstalled that one and installed this one:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:malteworld/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pdftk

On Ubuntu 18 Server

sudo apt install pdftk
