Anyone has a suggestion how you could create Bar/Chart-Diagrams in PDF (with Prawn f.e) in Ruby on Rails?

I didn't found any usefull information in google.. :/

Answer 1

I would use D3.js for charts to generate SVG based elements and would use Prawn gem for generating pages in PDF format.

Answer 2

wkhtmltopdf is a pretty robust open source x-platform tool that lets you convert any web page to pdf.

my experience of it is that it works very well

then you've got your pick of charting javascript frameworks or server side charts

here's a gem

Answer 3

wkhtmltopdf is now at wkhtmltopdf.org (with sourcecode at github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf )
