Prawn is a pure Ruby PDF generation library that aims to make low level PDF generation tasks easy. It is currently under active development, and could be considered somewhere between alpha and beta quality software. You might be able to use it in production, but then again, you might not. If that doesn’t deter you, and you’re willing to roll up your sleeves to help fill in the gaps, read on.

Getting Started

Prawn has a lot of examples available for you to try out. These are split out by package, see prawn-core for most core functionality, prawn-layout for tables and grid based layout helpers, and prawn-format for inline styling.

The first thing you’ll want to do is read the project roadmap .
