prawn

Im using prawn to create pdfs that contain much data in table format and some lists. The problem with the lists is that Im just using text as lists because there is no semantic equivalent to ul > li lists like I use them in the webfrointend. So the lists arent justified. A list point that uses more than one line looks creapy because I doesnt fit the list icon. How can I implement lists in prawn that dont look like crap? Prawn was a good PDF library but the problem is its own view system. There is Prawn-format but is not maintained anymore. I suggest to use WickedPDF , it allows you to include

I have a variable number of tables with variable number of rows and I want to have them displaying one after the other but if a table doesn't fit on the current page put it on the next then continue on. I have put the table in a transaction so I can roll back then print it if the height will fit on curent page but how do I get the table height? I have this code at the moment pdf.transaction do pdf.table @data, :font_size => 12, :border_style => :grid, :horizontal_padding => 10, :vertical_padding => 3, :border_width => 2, :position => :left, :row_colors => ["FFFFFF","DDDDDD"] pdf.move_down 20

I would like to add a dynamically generated text. Is there a way to watermark an existing PDF in Ruby? This will do it: PDF::Reader to count the number of pages in the file. Prawn to create a new PDF document using each page of the input pdf as a template. require 'prawn' require 'pdf-reader' input_filename = 'input.pdf' output_filename = 'output.pdf' page_count = PDF::Reader.new(input_filename).page_count Prawn::Document.generate(output_filename, :skip_page_creation => true) do |pdf| page_count.times do |num| pdf.start_new_page(:template => input_filename, :template_page => num+1) pdf.text(

I am creating a pdf file in the latest version of the Prawn library (v1.0.1rc) in Rails (3.1.1) and when I run my code it generates the PDF into the root of the application. I don't want this. I want it to render the output into user's browser window, without saving it locally to the server. Please tell me how I can achieve this. Here are my files: views/foo/show.pdf.erb : <%= require 'prawn' pdf = Prawn::Document.new(:page_size => 'LETTER', :page_layout => :landscape, :margin => 50, :top_margin => 20, :bottom_margin => 50) ..... render_file("foo.pdf") %> controllers/foo_controller : class

I'm using Prawn and Prawnto to generate a PDF in a Ruby on Rails app (Rails version 2.2.2) which works great and generates PDFs happily and sends them to the user to download in Firefox. The problem is in IE7. I have a route set up like so: map.invoice_pdf '/invoices.pdf', :controller => 'invoices', :action => 'index', :format => 'pdf' Which I then have a link like so to call: invoice_pdf_path(:year => params[:year], :month => params[:month], :unpaid_only => params[:unpaid_only]) And the following in my controller: def index params[:year] = default params[:year] params[:month] = default params
