Hello,
I would like to send a view to a pdf file.
To do that I have choosen the tool "pdf::writer", I have tested it and
I found a problem when I do:
pdf.text render :layout => "my_layout"
it sends the whole html code to the pdf file.
How could I send the result of the html file to the pdf file?
Thanks and let me know if you do not understand it.
Isabel

Here is what I usually have in my controller action to do so: send_data pdf.render, :filename => "filename.pdf", :type => ''application/pdf'' Is that what you need to do?

Is it posible to translate html to pdf? I have tried with htmldoc, but I have also problems with the charset, there is no utf-8 option yet..> Franz >Thanks Franz!> -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Isabel, For your case, I would suggest that you look at Prawn. There is a very good screencast at RailsCasts on this: http://railscasts.com/episodes/153-pdfs-with-prawn Have fun, Franz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
