Can Rails be used for printing an order in a store application that has arrived? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m researching generating PDF files via RoR. I see there are packages available to do this. One such package is the PDF-Writer. The examples I saw for this package save the PDF to a file. Is there a way I can output the PDF on-the-fly to the browser rather than having a temporary PDF file? I just can''t have these files laying around since they contain sensitive

i am working on a catalog for our customers to order printing. i have worked a little bit with imagemagick and pdf_writer. currently i am uploading a pdf and an image for the preview of the file. i''m just wondering if there is a way to convert a page of the pdf to a jpeg so that i only have to upload once. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I MAY be able to derive something out of the present example given here : http://blog.codeinmotion.com/index.php/2006/12/22/pdf-generation-in-ruby-on-rails/ but this deals with filling out forms. Is there a simpler example that just allows you to talk to itext , send it some plain text and get back a pdf and then send that pdf to the user as downloadable / renderable data? -- Posted via

hello Everyone, would like to search this subject in the forms, but since search is disabled I am posting this one. Any insight is much appreciated. I am a newbie to ROR. Wondering what it takes to take a form that is filled by a user and generate a PDF on the fly for his to save or print. I am aware of some PDF libraries for PHP to accomplish this, but not quite sure how to get this done

In my rails app I need to create pdf reports on the fly. I have installed railspdf, wich is working fine. But, how can I create tables and paragraphs and stuff? Can I mimic an .rhtml file (using <% for ...%> etc? Or is it wise to use Ruby::PDF directly? Is there anyone out there with experience in this, and who is willing to share his findings? Thx -- Posted via
