The installation/update of Rosetta (on MacOS Monterey 12.2) solved this issue for me with the following command :

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Maybe it can help others

    Rosetta helps to run apps which are supported for intel chips on MacOS. Thank you @SLgz for this answer, it worked for me. I figured out the problem when I saw this error: bad CPU type in executable: wkhtmltopdf – hithard Sep 14 '22 at 07:16

I had the same issue on macbook with apple m1 chip. In order to fix that, you need to manually download binary for arm chip, for newest release (0.12.6) just go to: https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/packaging/releases/0.12.6-1 and download: wkhtmltox-0.12.6-1.macos-cocoa.pkg

Then install script and edit your wicked_pdf.rb file to point to newly installed binary:

WickedPdf.config = {
  exe_path: '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf',
}

You can also do some changes to keep previous behavior on other machines, and use non gem binary only when already installed:

if File.exist?('/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf')
  binary_path = '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf'
else
  binary_path = Gem.bin_path('wkhtmltopdf-binary', 'wkhtmltopdf')
end

WickedPdf.config = {
  exe_path: binary_path,
}
