Dev Env = Mac OS X Server = Linux Total to test then deploy = $1800US? (If I''m reading it right) I''m going to be needing a PDF solution for Ruby in the coming months, but I think I''d rather pay the owners of Prawn for a customized solution - if it doesn''t _already_ do what I will need for FREE.

Not sure how this compares to it. Anyhow, I have found wkhtmltopdf to be a pretty good converter, and assuming it continues to grow and be maintaned is a nice project if you want to covert html to pdf. Prawn I bet is good but it felt like learning a whole new dsl --- and in my case since I already had some complex html it was not for me.> > Best > > Paul > > -- > 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-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFF+G/Ez6ZCGd0@public.gmane.org > 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.

The thing I''m still curious about with PDFNet is whether it''s a desktop app or a server-side service. They''re marketing it as if it was the former (box photos etc.) but there''s an API like the latter.

I used a program simialer when doing .NET work which was great converting html to pdf ... really painless... and it was about $500 and seemed a similar arrangement.
