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?

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

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. First pdf.start_page_numbering(pdf.margin_x_middle, pdf.absolute_bottom_margin, 9,

Having read over the ruby pdf generation (simple reporting) options, I think Pdf::Writer will do just fine... ..if the following is possible On page 13 of (the really expansive) ::Writer manual, Replacement Tags are detailed. Before I jump into this tomorrow, I''m hoping for some triage sage advice. Finally, the question : "Would utilizing Replacement Tags be a suitable

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

I am trying to use an OCRB font in pdf::writer. So, I managed to install the font on a debian linux. The first line in OCR font is appearing on the pdf, but I get an error-message: "The font ''OCRBLT'' contains a bad /BBox". Someone ever had this problem? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I intend to release a project I wrote with Rails. What is the right licensing scheme for a web application (content managing system) which could grow with plugins and add-ons ? Personally, I would prefer the GPL but does that mean any add-on to the CMS (like task management) will have to be GPL ? If some people contribute to the code could it still be double-licenced so that the people who

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!

Before I get flamed, I just want to start off by saying that I am new to Ruby and I really enjoy this language and want to see it succeed. But, what niche does this language fill? These are serious question, not a put down of the language. Does it has something to offer for Web 2.0? Is it just another scripting language? Does it suppose to replace something else? Does it suppose to work with
