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 there, I''m looking for a powerful pdf creation libary. I already tried: prawn - Nice handling but way too slow when lots of tables are involved PDFKit - too slow Actually I''m trying prince with xml input. It''s pretty fast but I don''t like the page-break control. I need a libary which can create pdf''s with up to 90 pages with lots of nested

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. Should I be doing something like PDF output like pdf-writer or other or can I possibly do this with html and css? My output will be check runs of many checks with 1 page per check. Any

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? Does the tool use the standard css, or can I provide it alternative print-css? Thanks in advance, Jonathan Steel -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you

Hi everybody, I''m trying to use the prawn gem into a new rails3 application on debian. What I did: As root: - install rubygems, from http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/73882/rubygems-1.4.2.tgz - gem install rails - gem install prawn - gem install pdf-reader - gem list | grep prawn => prawn (0.8.4) prawn-core (0.8.4) prawn-layout (0.8.4)

Hi all, I was wondering how you guys generate reports from rails. I want to generate business reports in pdf format, and was wondering what you guys use. I have searched the web and found Ruport, but there isn''t much documentation or examples of real world business reports like jasperreports, for instance. Is it possible to generate good looking business reports with ruport? What other

Hi, Chauk-Mean and all - I have just ported everything to 10.04 ubuntu, and I am pleased to note that I was able to use prepackaged stuff almost everywhere. Yes, it was painful before I figured it out. :) I used apt-get to install ruby-1.8.7, all the wx libraries (including the dev header packages) I uninstalled the debian rubygems package completely and installed rubygems-1.4.1 from the

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, 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. Last revision was on 15th of Dec, 2007. Any recommendations for pdf generators? thank you -- You received this

In a data frame, I would like to assign two or more factors to one observation. Is it possible? If so, how? Example: In the variable $ dishes, there are several levels: "cup", "plate", "saucer". In my first observation, I see a saucer only. But in the second one, I see a cup and a saucer. In the third, however, there is only a cup, in the fourth a plate only and

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 been looking into using PDFKit to generate pdf reports for a Rail 3 app I''m working on. Basically if I use PDFKit as middleware any page in the app is nicely rendered to a pdf including the javascript generated graphs. However, I want to use a different

Hello All, We''re working on a project on a Windows machine that will use PDFKit to convert an HTML page to a PDF.

I''m a Rails newbie and I have added the CKEditor Gem which is working okay. To configure the gem though, you have to edit the config file, which is also working when I do that. However, when I push to github and pull to my other computer, the config file is not changed.
