At the company I work for we have used both Prawn(early on) and PDFKit(newer projects) with a strong preference for PDFKit given everyone's familiarity with HTML+CSS we use it to automate filling out of medicaid application forms which are ridiculously complex and have yet to have one rejected for not being correct. It does take some getting used to working in inches/cm rather than px for layouts since you're working in the print profile for CSS but that isn't required just preferred by some. As for WickedPDF I've got no experience with it so can't speak to its usefulness.

No, PDFkit is based on wkhtmltopdf (quite a mouthful) which takes HTML + CSS and turns it into a fresh PDF. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
