I'd also recommend princexml if you can afford it. And I'm a big f/ oss proponent. Been using it on a couple of apps for clients in the past couple of years and have been very happy with results. The coverage of (standard) print-related css is very good. I can't tell you how much time has been saved by going the html/css -> pdf route, instead of generating pdf on-the-fly in app code.
I am always on the lookout for f/oss alternatives. One of the latest alternatives I've looked at that's getting pretty close (to meeting the specific needs of the projects I'm working on): wkhtmltopdf: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ Also, for anyone interested, If you need to do any post-generation pdf testing/manipulation (splitting, combining, ....), a couple other tools I'd recommend to use as well: pdftk http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ pdfopt http://linux.die.net/man/1/pdfopt Jeff On Jul 13, 1:07 am, Peter De Berdt <peter.de.be...@pandora.be> wrote: > On 13 Jul 2009, at 09:55, Sandip Ransing wrote: > > > I wanted to convert .html file into .pdf. > > > is there any rails plugin ?? > > http://sublog.subimage.com/2007/05/29/html-css-to-pdf-using-ruby-on-r... > > However, PrinceXML is not free:http://www.princexml.com/purchase/ > > That said, it works extremely well, producing PDFs that are simply > amazing. > > Best regards > > Peter De Berdt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
