Hello Everyone, I am working on a website where I am required to convert an HTML view into a PDF document. I have found some gems and plug-ins like PDF::Writer, but none of these are good for converting HTML and CSS to PDF file. I found a gem called "Princely" which works with "PrinceXML". But PrinceXML library is not free and we don''t have money to pay for it as we are non-profit. Anyone who knows of a gem or plug-in that will best fit my scenario? Thanks a lot! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi Everybody, I am using wicked_pdf plugin and having a hard time to get it working. On windows XP, I get the error "fork() function is unimplemented on this machine" and on Mac OSX Snow Leopard, I get "Broken pipe" error. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Joshua ,
I did install wkhtmltopdf.
I have given pdfkit a try which is working very well if I give it an
address like "http://google.com".
Just don''t know how to specify the address of a page from within my
app.
Giving address like "http://localhost:3000/test" is not working.
Here is the code for pdfkit:
format.pdf do
kit = PDFKit.new("http://google.com")
send_data(kit.to_pdf, :filename => "New.pdf", :type =>
''application/pdf'')
end
Thanks!
