What I did :

Send XML to a Java servlet which returns a PDF file.

In the Java, i used the amazing,unbeatable and blisteringly fast iText 
library to create the PDF.  This works great for me.

Another option would be to use the iText library with JRuby.

Thanks

Chris

Check out acts_as_reportable, which is part of the Ruby Reports
library.  It''s an excellent little piece of code. ;)
