similar to: pdf simpletable help needed

Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method. I wonder if it is possible to speed up that process? To create the report, I do the following: 1) Setup pdf layout: # Setup pdf layout pdf.select_font("Helvetica", { :encoding => "WinAnsiEncoding"})

Hello All: I have been working with <a href="http://ruby-pdf.rubyforge.org/pdf-writer/index.html">Austin Ziegler''s PDF::Writer</a> as a means to produce PDF documents from my Rails app. I am stumped on how to iterate through a collection of items and output them in a table format.

Can I mimic an .rhtml file (using <% for ...%> etc? Or is it wise to use Ruby::PDF directly? Is there anyone out there with experience in this, and who is willing to share his findings? Thx -- Posted via

Hello, I am having performance issues ending with a ''time out'' from Apache when I try to generate a PDF file using pdf-writer. It seems to happen at the render_on(pdf) function call ; the table I am trying to draw has 8 colums which values are generated on the fly. Can''t find anything about pdf-writer and the ''time out'' on the Web so far. Any

I posted this to comp.lang.ruby and comp.lang.smalltalk, and my blog. I will likely get destroyed, but it will be worth it if at least one nugget of information helps the Ruby IDE makers. ----------------------------------------- Hi all -- I shout my question to the entire Ruby + Smalltalk community: Smalltalk has had amazing IDEs for decades, why not Ruby? Smalltalkers, Ruby needs your help!

In a new app we are developing, we need to be able to dynamically create a PDF and send it to the browser (inline with send_data). I have been tinkering with PDF::Writer and love the simplicity and native ruby-ness of it all. However, one of the main uses for this functionality is to output a PDF of addresses to be printed on Avery 5161 labels. LaTex seems to be suited well for this, but it

Hi, I have a model Account wich "has_one" model called UserData. Both models use validation. # Model contains user name, email etc. class Account < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :user_data, :foreign_key => "user_id" validates_presence_of :email end # Model contains firstname, lastname etc. class UserData < ActiveRecord::Base

The API changes from: int nbd_add_close_callback (struct nbd_handle *h, nbd_close_callback cb, void *user_data); to: int nbd_add_close_callback (struct nbd_handle *h, void *user_data, nbd_close_callback cb); The second way is consistent with how other callbacks work

Hey there, I know this isn''t a pdf::writer list - If there''s a more appropriate place for me to ask these questions I''d appreciate being set straight. I''m having a couple of misunderstandings/isssues first with page numbers and secondly with auto-wrapping of simple_table.

A friend and I are just in the process of trying to create PDFs on the fly. This isn''t in itself too hard, but we have some repeating images that are being put in over and over again.
