Re: Let PDFLib hear from you regarding Ruby bindings

I''m for that. I''ve used the commercial version of PDFLib in
several
large projects (Perl, PHP) and it has always performed exceptionally
well. The more products that support Ruby, the happier we''ll all be I
think. (Send a note to the folks at ChartDirector
http://www.advsofteng.com while you''re at it.)

That being said, I''m curious, what feature(s) do you require that
prevent you from using one of the existing PDF solutions for Ruby like
pdf-writer? Is it the PDI functionality?
