PDF Seafood Sauce: Prawn
The Ruby community is privileged to have a number of very valuable utility libraries. One of these is the venerable PDF::Writer, which enables the production of .pdf files with Ruby methods. Unfortunately, PDF::Writer has performance issues that can make it excruciatingly slow. The time has come for new contenders to step into the Ruby PDF ring and one of the most promising is named Prawn.
This is what the Prawn project page says -
Prawn is a PDF writing library for Ruby. It aims to be fast, tiny, and nimble, like the majestic sea creature.
