The PDF::Reader library implements a PDF parser conforming as much as possible to the PDF specification from Adobe

Wicked PDF uses the shell utility wkhtmltopdf to serve a PDF file to a user from HTML. In other words, rather than dealing with a PDF generation DSL of some sort, you simply write an HTML view as you would normally, and let Wicked take care of the hard stuff.

Prawn is a fast, tiny, and nimble PDF generator for Ruby

Uses wkhtmltopdf to create PDFs using HTML

PDF::Core is used by Prawn to render PDF documents. It provides low-level format support.

Super cool PDF templates using iText's PdfStamper. == CAVEAT: Anything super cool must have a caveat. You have to use JRuby or RJB. Plus you can only use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to create the templates. == EXAMPLE: pdf = PDF::Stamper.new("my_template.pdf") pdf.text :first_name, "Jason" pdf.text :last_name, "Yates" pdf.image :photo, "photo.jpg" pdf.save_as "my_output.pdf"

Fill out PDF forms (templates) using iText's PdfStamper. == CAVEAT: You have to use JRuby or RJB. You need Adobe LiveCycle Designer or Acrobat Professional to create the templates. == EXAMPLE: pdf = PDF::Stamper.new("my_template.pdf") pdf.text :first_name, "Jason" pdf.text :last_name, "Yates" pdf.image :photo, "photo.jpg" pdf.checkbox :hungry pdf.save_as "my_output.pdf"

A nifty gem, in pure Ruby, to parse PDF files and combine (merge) them with other PDF files, number the pages, watermark them or stamp them, create tables, add basic text objects etc` (all using the PDF file format).

An add-on converter for Asciidoctor that converts AsciiDoc documents to PDF using the Prawn PDF generation library.

A Ruby frontend to the pdftk binary, including FDF and XFDF creation. Also works with the PDFTK Java port. Just pass your template and a hash of data to fill in.

This library provides a number of PDF::Reader[0] based tools for use in testing PDF output. Presently, the primary purpose of this tool is to support the tests found in Prawn[1], a pure Ruby PDF generation library. However, it may be useful to others, so we have made it available as a gem in its own right. [0] https://github.com/yob/pdf-reader [1] https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn

pdfmult is a command line tool that rearranges multiple copies of a PDF page (shrunken) on one page. It is a wrapper for pdflatex with the pdfpages package.

Shave pages off of PDFs as images. PDFShaver makes iterating PDF pages easy by wrapping Google Chrome's PDFium library in an enumerable interface.

Merge multiple PDFs in to one using iText's PdfCopyFile.

HexaPDF is a pure Ruby library with an accompanying application for working with PDF files. In short, it allows creating new PDF files, manipulating existing PDF files, merging multiple PDF files into one, extracting meta information, text, images and files from PDF files, securing PDF files by encrypting them and optimizing PDF files for smaller file size or other criteria. HexaPDF was designed with ease of use and performance in mind. It uses lazy loading and lazy computing when possible and tries to produce small PDF files by default.

== DESCRIPTION: Welcome to the PDF-Labels project. Our aim is to make creating labels programmatically easy in Ruby. This Library builds on top of "PDF::Writer":http://ruby-pdf.rubyforge.org/ and uses the templates from "gLabels":http://glabels.sourceforge.org. What this means is easy, clean Ruby code to create many common label types without measuring the labels yourself! All of this in pure Ruby (we use the XML templates from gLabels, we do NOT have a dependancy on gLabels, nor on Gnome) == FEATURES/PROBLEMS: * Works with all gLabels supported templates for rectangular labels * Does not yet work for CD labels (circles) == SYNOPSIS: p = PDFLabelPage.new("Avery 8160") # label is 2 x 10 #Some examples of adding labels p.add_label() # should add to col 1, row 1 p.add_label(:position => 1) # should add col 1, row 2 p.add_label(:text => "Positoin 15", :position => 15) # should add col 2, row 1 p.add_label(:text => 'No Margin', :position => 5, :use_margin => false) #this doesn't use a margin p.add_label(:position => 9, :text => "X Offset = 4, Y Offset = -6", :offset_x => 4, :offset_y => -6) p.add_label(:text => "Centered", :position => 26, :justification => :center) # should add col 2, row 15 p.add_label(:text => "[Right justified]", :justification => :right, :position => 28)# col 2, row 14, right justified. p.add_label(:position => 29) # should add col 2, row 15 p.add_label(:position => 8, :text => "This was added last and has a BIG font", :font_size => 18)
