I''m researching generating PDF files via RoR. I see there are packages available to do this. One such package is the PDF-Writer. The examples I saw for this package save the PDF to a file. Is there a way I can output the PDF on-the-fly to the browser rather than having a temporary PDF file? I just can''t have these files laying around since they contain sensitive

hello Everyone, would like to search this subject in the forms, but since search is disabled I am posting this one. Any insight is much appreciated. I am a newbie to ROR. Wondering what it takes to take a form that is filled by a user and generate a PDF on the fly for his to save or print. I am aware of some PDF libraries for PHP to accomplish this, but not quite sure how to get this done

In my rails app I need to create pdf reports on the fly. I have installed railspdf, wich is working fine. But, how can I create tables and paragraphs and stuff? Can I mimic an .rhtml file (using <% for ...%> etc? Or is it wise to use Ruby::PDF directly? Is there anyone out there with experience in this, and who is willing to share his findings?

I bought the second edition of the ruby on rails, it seems to work fine now, did some adjustments to the code. But now I get a second error and I want to learn to understand to fix them myself.

Hi, For my app i need to generate pdf file for reports.

I MAY be able to derive something out of the present example given here : http://blog.codeinmotion.com/index.php/2006/12/22/pdf-generation-in-ruby-on-rails/ but this deals with filling out forms. Is there a simpler example that just allows you to talk to itext , send it some plain text and get back a pdf and then send that pdf to the user as downloadable / renderable data? -- Posted via

I know there''s wiki page on generating PDF[*], but that''s not really what I want. I don''t need to create arbitrary PDF. What I''d like to do is create PDF templates and fill in the blanks. Roughly, I''m looking for functionality akin to the mail merge feature of word processors, including conditional and repeated elements, say, table rows. Michael

Is there any way to request WEBrick to shutdown besides hitting CTRL-C at the console? I''m looking for, perhaps, a script/shutdown command, or perhaps a special URL that will request WEBrick to die. It can be a command run in a different shell, or, as I said, a special URL. Anyone? Tom Harris Cisco Systems -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m trying to implement a live search that supports searching for multiple words. So for example, if I type "ruby rails" in the search field, I would return results that have either the word "ruby" in them or the word "rails" in them. However, this is just a background as to what the following code is trying to do and might not even be needed to fix

Hello R-masters! R and CRAN webpages use HTML frames for layout. Links to files such as PDF are therefore opened within frame. However, with PDFs this can be distracting if you have a small monitor, since left frame can be small for viewing PDFs with bookmark toolbar in the left in Acrobat Reader. It isn't such a bug problem with others i.e. (K)Ghostview etc, but it can be still small to
