Hi everyone
Is there any gem or any other way in ruby to generate PDF
from XSL FO.
I''ve been googling for hours but with no returns. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Anandh

If you don''t *need* to use FO as your intermediate representation, also consider a library such as Prawn.> > Thanks > > AnandhBest, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org marnen-sbuyVjPbboAdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Thanks for the response. I''m not using JRuby. And as of now prawn too doesnt have this functionality. So is there any other way to accomplish this is in Ruby on Rails.

As I said, Prawn doesn''t use FO, but may be a good alternative if FO is not an actual requirement.> So is there any other way to accomplish this is in Ruby on Rails.I gave a suggestion that doesn''t require JRuby.
