Writing PDFs with pdf-writer
Apress eBooks · 2007
pdf-writer is a Ruby library for producing PDF files. PDF (Portable Document Format) documents are ubiquitous and flexible. Typically, they are read-only and have the advantage of appearing exactly the same on the screen as they do when they are printing; other document formats designed for the screen, such as HTML, often appear vastly different in print. Often businesses use PDFs for certain type of presentations, such as proposals or press releases. By using the pdf-writer library, you can programmatically create PDFs in Ruby.
