Creating a pdf invoice in rails/ruby

Question

I want to create an invoice in PDF format using rails/ruby.

So company header and the top, client information, and then line items with pricing and then a total at the bottom etc.

What do you guys advise?

Is it tricky to get the formatting correct so it prints out correctly?

I recommend a gem called prawn: http://prawn.majesticseacreature.com/

I've used it before and liked the results.
