I also ran into this same (or a similar) issue...

building pdf...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\HP\Downloads\perlego-downloader-main\perlego-downloader-main\downloader.py", line 141, in <module>
    f.write(content)
  File "C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 19, in encode
    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2003' in position 1965: character maps to <undefined>

What I suspect is going on is when we open the file (one line earlier line 140) it is creating a file with a format which cannot support certain encoded characters.

I fixed this issue for me by altering line 140 to create the file with encoding 'utf-8'
f = open(f'epub_{BOOK_ID}/{page_no}.html', 'w', encoding='utf-8')

Thanks @a-sinclaire for the contribution. I'll run some tests and create a pull request to update the script.

@jaan143 the script cannot find the wkhtmltopdf executable, make sure you have it installed.
Also, you can give the script the full path of the executable:

path_wkhtmltopdf = "C:\Program Files(x86)\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe"
config = pdfkit.configuration(wkhtmltopdf = path_wkhtmltopdf)
pdfkit.from_file([f'epub_{BOOK_ID}/{i}.html' for i in range(page_no)], f'{BOOK_ID}.pdf', options={'encoding': 'UTF-8'}, configuration = config)
