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?

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
