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.

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''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 am working on a project where I need to generate a chart (a bit like a pie chart, but very customised) and insert this into a PDF document. Does anybody have any advice on ruby libraries (or other techniques) for doing this? Open to suggestions? The resulting PDF will be designed for printing and so ideally should be vector throughout (or any raster images 300dpi). I was thinking of some
