Hi there, Can anybody show me (maybe copy/paste a simple code example) how to create the .pdf file from an existing (.xls) file, using the Prawn gem? Basically, I''d need the command that takes an existing (.xls) file to save it as a .pdf, afterwards. (I''m asking because the Prawn documentation at http://prawn.majesticseacreature.com/docs/ seems to be gone since quite a while -

Hello, my question is rails related though it is also somewhat specific to the prawnto plugin (installed latest version as of 2010-03-15). I would ask on a prawnto forum/list if I knew where one was. Anyhow, I''m using rails 2.3.5 (with ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 111) in an app that is successfully using the prawnto gem (with the prawn gem version 0.7.1). I''ve got a a

Hi, Have anyone made a successful usage of Rails 2.3.3 with PrawnTo and Prawn ? I followed all the tutorials I could find on Net, but I am not able to see pdf part working. I kept getting the error "Template is missing". I do have foo.pdf.prawn. Same goes with pdf/writer as well. Thank you.

I was having great success with creating PDFs with prawn, I followed Ryan Bates latest screencast. All good. Trouble is when i come to deploy the app on my webhost I ran into trouble. Rails 2.3 app. I did, "sudo rake gem unpack prawn" to freeze it in. I put the app on my webhost but it won''t start, some error saying it can''t find prawn. Any ideas? (summary: works

Hi everyone -- In the excitement of the Chicago RailsConf and other recent events, don''t forget the excitement of RailsConf Europe! You''ve heard of it, but it seems kind of shadowy compared to the "big" events? Here''s the news: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It IS a big event!

Dear All - At the end of our RailsConf Speech on how we built a maintainable yet complex rails system (slides here: http://en.oreilly.com/rails2010/public/schedule/detail/14302), there was a large demand for us to open source our methods. As such, we are pleased to announce eco_apps 0.1. (http:// www.github.com/idapted/eco_apps) What it does: eco_apps allow you to develop an application

Hi! I have a seat at the international RailsConf 2006 in Chicago but for personal reasons I am not able to attend. The conference has been sold out for a long time so I am now giving you guys a chance to attend, if you are interested to take over my seat, just drop me an e-mail. More info on the talks, venue etc can be found here: http://www.railsconf.org/ -- Cheers, Joakim p.s. Save a tree

A friend of mine decided to get married on RailsConf weekend, so I can''t make the conference. I checked the website and tickets are transferable, so I''m making the ticket available to the highest bidder. The ticket was $400. I''m not looking to make a profit, but I would like to recover the original cost. Given that the conference sold out almost immediately,

Hey Folks, I''ve been meeting lots of great folks at RailsConf and in my spare time hacking up this latest pre-release of Mongrel. It features the following new goodies: * Change to user:group is done *after* the socket is bound, but still as early as possible. * Mongrel will try to reap dead threads as soon as possible, especially when it gets overloaded with too many open files. *

We booked our UK techies into RailsConf Europe 2006 and one of them can''t make it?. so (assuming we''re allowed to by the conference) we''d like to make the ticket available to someone as a small "thank you" to the Rails community. I guess we''d like to think that would mean it went to someone who is involved in the community but couldn''t

Fyi, the RailsConf ticket has been traded. Thanks to all the people who expressed interest! I''m glad I offered a trade in addition to just offering to sell the ticket! It was a great experience, and I got to meet a lot of people I think I''ll be working with, including Sarah Mei (the person I''m sending to the conference). If the logistics work out, I''ll be

Has a decision been made about the proper way to transfer RailsConf tickets from one person to another?  I didn''t see anything on the RailsConf site and the wiki just leads to the regular RoR wiki. It turns out a client of mine needs me that week.  I don''t mean to clutter the discussions here with that, but I don''t know of any other forum. Ken -- Kenneth A. Kousen,
