Question
I am using prawn to create pdf file but it always leaves some spaces/margins around the page. Can't we use whole space of the pdf file not leaving any margins around?
Thanks !!!
Solution
Are you referring to the page bounds ?
The general space that is consumed on the page can be shown by the example code:
require 'prawn/core'
require 'prawn/layout'
Prawn::Document.generate('padded_box.pdf') do
stroke_bounds
text "Margin box"
padded_box(25) do
stroke_bounds
text "Bounding box padded by 25 on all sides from the margins"
padded_box(50) do
stroke_bounds
text "Bounding box padded by 50 on all sides from the parent bounds"
end
end
end
This will draw the bounds of the page showing the margin. There is a gap, which is the margins typically defined for the printing area
