PDFs won't load Javascript

[Pelimak]

I don't know if this is a problem with my set up of CakePDF, or if this is just impossible with the current plugin, but I cannot get any PDF to actually read/execute Javascript. If I have an html page with just html and php, the page will generate just fine; however, it will skip anything in Javascript tags. I really need to be able to use Javascript when the PDF is created so that I can create the images I need to be on the document. I am using wkhtmltopdf as the engine.

I apologize if this has been answered before, but in days of researching the problem and experimenting with possible solutions, I have found no information on getting Javascript to work. I would greatly appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks.

afaik wkhtmltopdf has javascript enabled by default and a delay of 200,
CakePdf responsibilty it to render your view templates to generate the
html. Are you using external ,js scripts(jquery etc) or only pure
javascript in a script tag?

I'm using only pure javascript. If I do something very simple like <script type="text/javascript">alert("test");</script> it will not do the alert. I also tried having it change the text of an html span to see if it was just alerts that did not work; however, that did not do anything either.

Closing due to inactivity. This sounds like a problem with wkhtmltopdf (If it is possible at all).
