FYI: Just ran into this problem while building a _large_ PDF file with
publican and wkhtmltopdf. It seems that wkhtmltopdf tends to keep a lot
of file descriptors open at the same time, which can cause you to run
out of file descriptors. The problem is described here:
http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=656
Fortunately, one of the workarounds described in that bug report worked
for me. Just increase the limit using 'ulimit -n' (assuming you are
using bash shell). For example, I did
ulimit -n 8192
And the problem was solved (the default limit on my machine is 256).
