PDFKit
Dax Huiberts di 29 jun 10
Another new kid in town. This time it is PDFKit, a new tool for generating PDF documents in your Rails application.
Before this we had two main choices. Either use PrinceXML with the princely gem to convert your HTML documents + CSS stylesheets to PDF while paying a hefty server license of $3,800. Or use Prawn and build your PDF documents using nothing but Ruby code. I once thought Prawn was actually a nice tool, but I was amazed by the inordinate amount of code needed to display a simple table.
Here comes PDFKit, a new tool to create your PDF documents using HTML + CSS again. It’s build on the Webkit HTML engine, so you’ll get fine rendering and you don’t have to pay an excessive server license.
Go check out this Railscast on PDFKit.
