PDF::Core is a pure Ruby library to render PDF documents.
It supports several PDF features, such as among others:
* low-level annotation
* istream objects and stream filters
* NameTree
* object repository
* object serialization
* indirect objects
* page geometries
It is used internally by Prawn (provided in the rubygems-prawn package),
a Ruby PDF generation library.
The PDF::Reader library implements a PDF parser conforming as much as possible
to the PDF specification from Adobe
This library provides the ability to create PDF documents using only native
Ruby libraries. There are several demo programs available in the demo/
directory. The canonical documentation for PDF::Writer is "manual.pdf",
which can be generated using bin/techbook (just "techbook" for RubyGem users)
and the manual file "manual.pwd".
Rubygem-prawn-core is the core of Rubygem-prawn.
An extension to Prawn that provides flexible table support, that means be able
to create tables with rowspan and colspan attributes for each cell
rubygem-prawn-format is an extension of Prawn that allows
inline formatting.
Prawn::Graph aims to add this functionality to Prawn by using the
native PDF drawing tools Prawn exposes and a friendly single-method
call to draw the graph.
The graphs and the values plotted and drawn are all relatively sized
within the bounds of the width and height you have set and should
scale pretty well to any size of value. Of course, if things do end
up looking too squashed, you can always just make your graph bigger.
At the moment, only Bar and Line charts are implemented, with others
coming soon. Both charts work in mostly the same way.
A small extension to prawn that simplifies embedding JavaScript in your PDF
files
rubygem-prawn-layout is an extension to Prawn that provides
table support and other layout.
rubygem-prawn-security is an extension of Prawn.
