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.

Except one part: I don''t know how to render

I also posted this on stackoverflow so apologises for cross posting but I think this is probably a better home for this post.

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

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.

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.
