Hi,
I was using webshot package to take snapshot of a webpage as below:
library(webshot)
webshot('
https://www.bseindia.com/stock-share-price/asian-paints-ltd/asianpaint/500820/',
'bb.pdf')
However what I see is a Blank PDF file is saved.
However if I use the same code in my windows machine it is able to produce
correct snapshot.
Below is my system information
Sys.info()
sysname
"Linux"
release
"4.4.0-139-generic"
version
"#165-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 24 10:58:50 UTC 2018"
nodename
"ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-blr1-01"
machine
"x86_64"
login
"root"
user
"root"
effective_user
"root"
Any idea what went wrong would be highly helpful.
Thanks,
