Finally found a way around this. Only 1 render is allowed at the controller level, but a view can have as many as wanted, so.. Leave the only allowed render in the controller for render_pdf, and do a find(:all) in the controller. In the view with the same name as the controller action, do a <%= render :partial => 'whatever', :object => @variable_from_controller %>
next make a partial view called _whatever.html.erb or _whatever.erb for pdf output. The variable holding one record from the list will be called whatever, with no @ before it. This partial is where whatever output is wanted per record should be done. Bob <[email protected]> On Jul 29, 12:45 am, Bob Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > Here is where I am now.
