Hey, I'm using prawn for pdf generation and everything works quite well, but now I'm having a bit of a problem. When I put multiple tables on one page, they just get put over each other and not under each other. Is this normal behaviour and what can I do about it? I add the tables on the most normal behaviour btw :) Thanks! ...
Hi there, I have a working Prawnto implementation, except for in IE versions 6 - 8. Here's my print method: prawnto :inline => false, :filename => @purchase.deal.name + "-" + @purchase.customer.name+".pdf", :prawn => {:skip_page_creation=>true} This works fine on Safari, FF and Chrome. You know, the sane browsers. But on IE, the brow...

Hello all, I have read through all relevant posts on Prawn but found no mentioning (even in Prawn's own documentation) of headers and footers. However, I did see a demo on Prawnto's own website about headers and footers. I copied the entire source of that demo just to see if it works but an error of undefined method "header" is complai...

Hi Everyone, I have successfully created an email that sends on creation of a Kase, but now I need to attach a PDF that is created on the fly by Prawn and Prawno.

I'm trying to assign Pantone colors to some text in Prawn. Ideally I'd like to be able to do this pdf.text_color = pdf.pantone(:485U) pdf.text "Whatever" I know this isn't possible. I considered calling pdf.raw and specifying the color manually but the PDF spec (ISO32000:2008) is way too complicated. I need either a simpler way or so...

I have a rails app that I am trying to deploy to heroku. This app generates pdfs using prawn. I installed prawn as a git submodule rather than as a gem as this is what is recommended on the prawn website (here). This has not worked well with heroku so far though. As stated on heroku's application constraints page submodules are not supp...

Hi there, Can anybody show me (maybe copy/paste a simple code example) how to create the .pdf file from an existing (.xls) file, using the Prawn gem?

When the seller is viewing an order in his admin section, he clicks a link that opens the pdf version of the orders/show view. This all works perfectly. Now, the ...
