Hello Guys i serached it on google and find answer on a blog.Thanks guys.

Solution is here.
(1)# first, installing dependencies
 $sudo aptitude install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev

(2)# for 64bits OS Run one by one following commands.

$sudo wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
$sudo tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-amd64.tar.bz2
$sudo mv wkhtmltopdf-amd64 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf 
$sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf

Finally Go to your rails app/config/initializer Folder and create new file pdfkit.rb and paste following code in it.

PDFKit.configure do |config|
   config.wkhtmltopdf = '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf' if Rails.env.production?
end

Thats it.Now your pdf file will be download. Also visit for further information http://www.stormconsultancy.co.uk/blog/development/generating-pdfs-in-rails-with-pdfkit-and-deploying-to-a-server/
