Some of the folks at my local users'' group mentioned a couple other options (which I haven''t yet tried): * flyingsaucer is a HTML-to-PDF renderer. It''s written in Java, but even if you''re not using JRuby, you could shell out to it. It probably wouldn''t be hard to modify the Princely plugin to work with this. * prawn_formatter lets you use HTML syntax in generating PDF files with Prawn, so it might work for converting HTML to PDF.

I''d also recommend princexml if you can afford it. And I''m a big f/ oss proponent. Been using it on a couple of apps for clients in the past couple of years and have been very happy with results. The coverage of (standard) print-related css is very good. I can''t tell you how much time has been saved by going the html/css -> pdf route, instead of generating pdf on-the-fly in app code. I am always on the lookout for f/oss alternatives. One of the latest alternatives I''ve looked at that''s getting pretty close (to meeting the specific needs of the projects I''m working on): wkhtmltopdf: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ Also, for anyone interested, If you need to do any post-generation pdf testing/manipulation (splitting, combining, ....), a couple other tools I''d recommend to use as well: pdftk http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ pdfopt http://linux.die.net/man/1/pdfopt Jeff On Jul 13, 1:07 am, Peter De Berdt <peter.de.be...-LPO8gxj9N8aZIoH1IeqzKA@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On 13 Jul 2009, at 09:55, Sandip Ransing wrote: > > > I wanted to convert .html file into .pdf. > > > is there any rails plugin ?? > > http://sublog.subimage.com/2007/05/29/html-css-to-pdf-using-ruby-on-r... > > However, PrinceXML is not free:http://www.princexml.com/purchase/ > > That said, it works extremely well, producing PDFs that are simply > amazing. > > Best regards > > Peter De Berdt

I''ve always just used the statically compiled version of wkhtmltopdf (for testing). If you can''t use the static version, might want to search/work-with-maintainers to resolve build-from-src problems.

You need version 4.5 of the QT library.

Hi guys !
I used prawn to generate pdf document.
its clean and simple to code.
but i am facing one problem.
In one of my table row i wanted to "Total IDV" text aligned
centered.
but its not working.
[ {:text => "Total IDV", :colspan => 3, *:align => :center*
},"#{ total_idv
}" ]
NOTE: *:text_align => :center, **:align => :center* is not producing any
effect. *
*Do you have any ideas ??
Cheers !
Sandip R~

They''re experts and are very helpful. Make sure you validate your html before you ask for help though (http://validator.w3.org) Best regards, Bill
