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?

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''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
