similar to: Pdf::Writer and "Replacement Tags"

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 just put a new plugin named branchable_migrations on Github.

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.

Hello. I have a UsersController and a Model called User with a "new" method, like this: class User < ActiveRecord::Base def test return 1 #I can do anything and return any data, the problem continues. end end The problem is that I cannot access my "test" function from the controller.

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

Hi, This seems simple but I cant get it to work... I have a table with 4 or 5 columns and 20-30 rows. I''d like to have the ability to click anywhere in a particular row to fire an action, such as bringing up a "Details" page for the clicked row. This would eliminate the need to generate a "Details" link at the end of every row, which is what I have now and looks

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

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.
