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.

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

This gem allows you to render SVG directly into a PDF using the 'prawn' gem. Since PDF is vector-based, you'll get nice scaled graphics if you use SVG instead of an image.

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.
