Error with Header and footer options on Windows platform

[unixmonkey]

The header line looks good to me, is shared/voucher_header.html.erb right? or is it shared/_voucher_header.html.erb?
Usually shared is a place to put partials. Passing :template assumes a full correct filename, not the magic stripping of the leading underscore like render :partial does.

Not sure about your issue with images, does windows not work with file:// descriptors?
You can check what is actually being rendered in the html by passing :debug => true in your render.

When I paste the url generated in browser this show the image correctly. However in image tag don´t show the image.

Are you using wicked_pdf_image_tag or just image_tag? You can try defining a new helper as mentioned here:
#1

def pdf_image_tag(image, options = {})
  options[:src] = File.expand_path(RAILS_ROOT) + '/public/images/' + image_tag(:img, options)
end

I guess I should really try and get a windows computer together to test this stuff better on that platform

Thanks. I am using pdf_image_tag on windows. My problem now is how could i generate multipages pdf with a standard header and footer (I need repeat these).

You have a lot of flexibility in specifying your headers and footers.
Here, the header is a template, and the footer is built up with some standard text.

render :pdf => 'file',
            :header =>  { :html => { :template => 'shared/header.pdf.erb' } },
            :footer   => {:left => 'REPORT',
                                 :center => Time.now.to_s(:db),
                                 :right => '[page] of [topage]'}
