This doesn''t seem to be working though. Is there a better/ correct way to do this? The sting is stored as UTF-8 in MySQL and displays properly on the web (<?xml

Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method.

Hi, A little question. I''ve written a method that uses PDF::Writer to generate a PDF document with some images and text.

In a new app we are developing, we need to be able to dynamically create a PDF and send it to the browser (inline with send_data). I have been tinkering with PDF::Writer and love the simplicity and native ruby-ness of it all. However, one of the main uses for this functionality is to output a PDF of addresses to be printed on Avery 5161 labels. LaTex seems to be suited well for this, but it
