Hi, I would like to create reports from some of the views of my application. By "report" I mean a file formatted so that it can be easily saved and printed. To make myself just even more clear, let''s imagine I have an application that handles information about movies. When I display a movie, it shows in an html page with the name, category, actors and reviews of this movie. Now, I would like to create a formatted report ( != from html printout) that contains some or all of these "show" pages. It would take as parameter the result of a filter (ex: all the movies of a given category) and then each page of the report would give the required set of information (ex: movie name, category, reviews [1-3], page number, ...). Anyone has done this successfully?

I would suggest looking at some of the ruby pdf libraries. they are quite good.
