similar to: html to pdf in rails

I have a requirement to generate views (list and show views, including data and uploaded images) into a format that can be saved and/or emailed. I''m looking for opinions on the easiest way to achieve this. I''ve researched the use of both PDF::Writer and Prawn, and it seems that to re-generate my views in pdf format will require a lot of work. Is there an easier way using .rtf

Hi, I tried PDF writer , but it doesn''t have HTML to PDF Converter. Infact it is a PDF writer itself not a converter..

hi, everyone, i have googled around for some pdf generators. Found 1) PDF::Writer which is a little dated 2) Rupdf (http://scoop.simplyexcited.co.uk//2007/12/15/rupdf-simple- ruby-pdf-rails-plugin/ and http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/rupdf) - it''s a little dated. Last revision was on 15th of Dec, 2007. Any recommendations for pdf generators? thank you -- You received this

Hello, I''m writing a mail-merge application with Ruby on Rails. I have one user-created template, wich he creates with a CKEditor (in HTML). I have a list of members, and in the "mailings" controller I mix the template with the members data to create a PDF with a letter to every member. This is all working correctly... Except one part: I don''t know how to render

In a data frame, I would like to assign two or more factors to one observation. Is it possible? If so, how? Example: In the variable $ dishes, there are several levels: "cup", "plate", "saucer". In my first observation, I see a saucer only. But in the second one, I see a cup and a saucer. In the third, however, there is only a cup, in the fourth a plate only and

Hi I''m using princexml pdf generation in one of our apps and bump into this very weird problem. On our ubuntu box and local machines (MacBook Pro) pdfs are generated flawlessly. On the production xserve (running the rails app in production mode on a mongrel cluster), a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, strange things start happening. The following sections give back nil values in

As described on wkhtmltopdf Google group (http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=162), I have a problem generating a PDF while using popen and wkhtmltopdf. wkhtmltopdf takes HTML code as input and ouputs a PDF file. Here is what I''m doing: command = ''"C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\wkhtmltopdf.exe" - - -q'' IO.popen(command,

Markdown speaks to a project I've engaged for nearly a decade. Ever since I cobbled up an Apple Newton keyboard to connect to my Pilot 5000, I wanted to type plain text with formatting for later printing. Class notes and such. Once I wrote a complex WordPerfect script using custom markup. For a while I wrote raw TeX, relying on a macro file to simplify things only a little. Upon

Sorry if this comes through twice. I already sent this once, before joining the mailing list. I''m attempting to use Backgroundrb to handle asynchronous pdf creation, but in doing so, I''ve run into a very strange problem. Below is a method that''s called from the controller which creates a new worker, then grabs the worker and calls the ''build_pdf''

Is there a standard way of programmatically firing an event on an element? I think this code works in IE but not FF: myElement.fireEvent(''onclick''); I really only care about IE and FF, but anything else is a bonus. I didn''t see anything in prototype/scriptaculous for this, but I might have missed it. Thanks. Joe Athman

in one of my apps i am currently using redcloth to use textile formatting on my content. i am wanting to add reporting to the system, but the content that prints out doesn''t have the formatting obviously that i can have with html. what''s a good solution for some kind of formatting where i can use it on both web and print? i''m using pdf/writer right now and i think

I am at a point where I will need to print checks in an application. I guess the best way to describe this is that I am using pre-printed checks and that I want to hit the prescribed areas with my text output. Should I be doing something like PDF output like pdf-writer or other or can I possibly do this with html and css? My output will be check runs of many checks with 1 page per check. Any

I would like to take a rails page and convert it to a pdf. I don''t want to have to generate the code myself for making the pdf, so it should obey css. What is the best tool for doing this?

When trying to install Microsoft Foundation Classes I find that winetools gets stuck on the mfc40.dll download. I can download mfc40.dll via my broswer, however. Where to stick this file, so that winetools can find it, and not need to download from dlldump.com? I'm on Ubuntu with the KDE desktop installed, if that matters. Thanks.
