If I remember right the other paid solution, Prince is about $5k. Not sure how this compares to it. Anyhow, I have found wkhtmltopdf to be a pretty good converter, and assuming it continues to grow and be maintaned is a nice project if you want to covert html to pdf. Prawn I bet is good but it felt like learning a whole new dsl --- and in my case since I already had some complex html it was not for me. > > Best > > Paul > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-talk@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rubyonrails-talk+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
