I hope this is helpful,if any other way we can generate PDF kindly share it. Prawn gives you more control over output but has a steeper learning curve, while PDFKit lets you use what you already know (HTML) to generate PDFs from standard Rails view and style code. PDFs From Ruby or Rails Prawn PDFKit wickedpdf Apr 24, 2015. If you are on Windows, want to point PDFKit to a different binary, or are having trouble with getting PDFKit to find your binary, please manually configure the wkhtmltopdf location. We can set configuration for pdfkit and erb as per our requirement. There are many ways to generate PDFs in Ruby and Rails, but we're going to focus on two: Prawn and PDFKit. PDFKit will try to intelligently guess at the location of wkhtmltopdf by running the command which wkhtmltopdf. Kit = PDFKIT.new(template.result(binding)) Rails apps in application.rb(Rails3) or environment.rb(Rails2) require. # Create new ERB template by passing required variable Non-Rails Rack apps in require pdfkit use PDFKit::Middleware.

So i am sharing my small idea it works for me.Ĭontent = File.read('path/of/erb/template') in application.rb(Rails3) or environment.rb(Rails2) require.

Parse file using erb with necessary parameter. in require pdfkit use PDFKit::Middleware.

Our controllers use the uploaded images to generate the HTML document that gets fed into PDF Kit. Our front end is uploading images and sending them to our RAILS API to generate the HTML document.

Read ERB(Haml.) file and store into string. Our setup: we are using a ruby on rails backend, loading the PDF Kit gem.

They both use a command line utility called wkhtmltopdf under the hood which uses WebKit to render a PDF from HTML.

We initially started with pdfkit to test our need it full fill majority all requirement,but as i say i want to generate PDF and store into my rails app.So it is easy to generate from HTML but we need to generate PDF from erb template (HAML can also work) in backend. A couple of popular gems to convert HTML to PDF in Rails are PDFKit and WickedPDF. Previously we are using prawn but as complexity increases and time decreases we started looking into another solution, we came across mainly pdfkit, wicked_pdf, acts_as_flying_saucer library. I can't generate pdf on the fly because of some limitation. I was unable to get wickedpdf to work at all in Rails 2.3.

This is being done for an older Rails 2.3 app and I was able to get pdfkit to work in development mode but not in production under Passenger.

In my current work i want to generate pdf and pre store into my application and whenever user wants to download pdf user can download pdf easily. pdfkit and wickedpdf are both pdf renderers from html templates and they use the same underlying engine.
