Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method. I wonder if it is possible to speed up that process? To create the report, I do the following: 1) Setup pdf layout: # Setup pdf layout pdf.select_font("Helvetica", { :encoding => "WinAnsiEncoding"})

Hi All, I am doing some research on how people start with their Rails app. What design decisions are made and how is it build. For example: - do you use scaffolding and go from there? Or do you create everything from scratch? - are you using multiple controllers? Or do you put everything in one? - do you use migrate? - how do you use migrate? Do you call migrate your self or do you use the

In a new app we are developing, we need to be able to dynamically create a PDF and send it to the browser (inline with send_data). I have been tinkering with PDF::Writer and love the simplicity and native ruby-ness of it all. However, one of the main uses for this functionality is to output a PDF of addresses to be printed on Avery 5161 labels. LaTex seems to be suited well for this, but it

Hey everybody, I''ve got a model that represents kind of a turn-based games. Certain actions can only be made unders certain conditions. For simplicity, we''ll say that the only condition for a particular action is that the weekday be Tuesday. def add_vote raise ''You cannot vote today'' unless Date.today.wday == 2 ... end In my controller I want to show a

Hey there, I know this isn''t a pdf::writer list - If there''s a more appropriate place for me to ask these questions I''d appreciate being set straight. I''m having a couple of misunderstandings/isssues first with page numbers and secondly with auto-wrapping of simple_table. First pdf.start_page_numbering(pdf.margin_x_middle, pdf.absolute_bottom_margin, 9,

I am trying to use an OCRB font in pdf::writer. So, I managed to install the font on a debian linux. The first line in OCR font is appearing on the pdf, but I get an error-message: "The font ''OCRBLT'' contains a bad /BBox". Someone ever had this problem? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I posted this to comp.lang.ruby and comp.lang.smalltalk, and my blog.

Smalltalkers, Ruby needs your help!

Having read over the ruby pdf generation (simple reporting) options, I think Pdf::Writer will do just fine... ..if the following is possible On page 13 of (the really expansive) ::Writer manual, Replacement Tags are detailed. Before I jump into this tomorrow, I''m hoping for some triage sage advice. Finally, the question : "Would utilizing Replacement Tags be a suitable

A friend and I are just in the process of trying to create PDFs on the fly. This isn''t in itself too hard, but we have some repeating images that are being put in over and over again. It''s increasing file size too much unfortunately. Does anyone know the best way to ensure file size is kept to a minimum for this scenario? We know about linking to a URI, but the problem with

I intend to release a project I wrote with Rails. What is the right licensing scheme for a web application (content managing system) which could grow with plugins and add-ons ? Personally, I would prefer the GPL but does that mean any add-on to the CMS (like task management) will have to be GPL ? If some people contribute to the code could it still be double-licenced so that the people who

Before I get flamed, I just want to start off by saying that I am new to Ruby and I really enjoy this language and want to see it succeed. But, what niche does this language fill? These are serious question, not a put down of the language. Does it has something to offer for Web 2.0? Is it just another scripting language? Does it suppose to replace something else? Does it suppose to work with
