Pdf export in rails

Question

I need to export an HTML page with some charts in to a PDF, what are some good gems to do this?

Answer 1

PDFKit http://railscasts.com/episodes/220-pdfkit and Prawn http://railscasts.com/episodes/153-pdfs-with-prawn.

My choice is PDFKit.

In deal with charts it can be a problem. Recommend to use graphic charts in this case. But maybe canvas is supported.

Answer 2

I use wicked_pdf to export the ouputted HTML of pages from Ruby on Rails as PDF. It works very well, and supports a ton of options.

I'm leaving this as a breadcrumb for anyone who comes across this question later...
