precision multi-page printing

rubyonrails-talk

I am at a point where I will need to print checks in an application.

I guess the best way to describe this is that I am using pre-printed checks and that I want to hit the prescribed areas with my text output.

Should I be doing something like PDF output like pdf-writer or other or can I possibly do this with html and css?

My output will be check runs of many checks with 1 page per check.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Craig

You will probably want to generate a PDF file. Prawn is very easy to use for PDF generation; try that first. If Prawn won't do what you want, perhaps Prince (expensive) or one of its free competitors (Flying Saucer, wkhtmltopdf) is worth a try. > > My output will be check runs of many checks with 1 page per check. > > Any suggestions will be appreciated. > > Thanks > > Craig
