I'm using the Prawn Ruby library (http://prawn.majesticseacreature.com/) to generate some pdf documents. I draw a table without any problem. Next, I want to insert some lines after the table for various people's signatures. Before I draw the lines, I would like to see if there is enough remaining room on the page to fit all the signat...
Ok, I've just spent the 4 hours trying to figure this one out without success. I've tried all the usual suspects and googled every combination of ruby 1.9.1, load path, gems, mac os x,freebsd,prawn and other stuff. The bottom line is this: When I compile ruby1.9.1-p129 from sources on mac os x 10.5, the default load path ($:) I get is...
I'm a little stuck on using Prawn/Prawnto to generate PDF documents. The Prawn documentation has helped some, but the Prawnto documentation is seemingly offline these days. I am trying to find a way to space text cells based on the previous cell's height. Prawn has the methods to do this -- no problem, but the return value from doing ...
Is anyone using Prawn / Prawnto with Jruby on rails? I installed prawn 0.5.01 and rails 2.3.2. I just installed prawn and prawnto and started playing with the PDF generation capabilities. I am concerned that the pranwto web site is no longer online - http://www.cracklabs.com/prawnto Is this rails plugin dead? Or has it moved somewhe...
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 => 'inde...
Hi guys, This is the 2x2 table I need to generate: r1c1 r1c2 r2c1 r2c1 ---- In other words I should print the bottom border of the bottom right cell.

Is there a way to justify text in pdf.text_box using the prawn plugin? ...
This is probably more a design or usage question but the main issue is using the Prawn plugin with Rails 2.3.4 and accessing the resulting PDF object to render it to a file. The scenario is basically; a controller with the respond_to block setup a view with code for rendering the text, graphics etc to PDF It looks like: From C...
I am using prawn to generate a pdf. So far everything has been rather straight forward. I am having a problem defining the leading between lines of text. For example: when using a text_box pdf.text_box "Ipsum dolor sit amet consectetue?", :width => pdf.bounds.width - 10, :height => 150, :overflow => :ellipses This will genera...

I have a app that uses Prawn to do some PDF generating, it works fine and I've had no problems with it. It's now come to the point where I want to test it through Apache using Passenger. This is where the problem appears. I get the passenger error page with this error: no such file to load -- prawn (MissingSourceFile) I restarted scri...

I'm using ruby, prawn, and prawnto to dynamically generate pdf's containing text in other languages. I can't seem to get any text in languages with non-english characters to show up. It doesn't throw any errors...just shows a bunch of dashes instead of characters. Prawn brags on its homepage about UTF-8 support so I don't see why this is...
I want to add reporting capabilities to my Rails application and I'm struggling quite some time now on which reporting software to use to create my PDF documents. Until now I'm pretty sure that either Ruport or Prawn are the best way to go. After experimenting with both of them I find that they both are very powerful and quite universa...
I need to embed a link into a generated pdf in a ruby on rails app. Is there a way to do this with prawn? Reading about this it turns out that prawn-format was the answer for awhile, but 0.7.x broke this. prawn-format uses the link_annotate(rect, options={}) function to create links. What options need to be passed into this to get it t...
Hi, I would like to indent the first line of each paragraph.

So even after: sudo gem update it's not okay, and I don't know how to update localy my Prawn...
