I've never used Ruport, but it looks promising. I love Prawn and do use it pretty actively. (It still seems a little underpowered for advanced layout, but I know that Greg et al. seem to be developing it very actively.) > The weird thing about the Ruby on Rails landscape is that most > developers are working on websites where printing is only a print.css > approach. What's weird about that? Rails is a Web framework, so it seems to me that this is exactly what you'd expect. Actually, print CSS can be an excellent solution. For one thing, it means the print layout is written in the same language as the Web layout. And using Prince and the Princely plugin, you can generate a PDF file from the HTML output. The only downside is that Prince is *expensive*, and a comparable free tool doesn't seem to exist. > For those few building business model applications you must > part from the pack.
