This is a simple Rack server that accepts web requests posting HTML to be converted into PDF. Uses the wkhtmltopdf binaries.
- Clone this:
git clone git://github.com/JackDanger/pdfservice.git - Signup for an account at Heroku (better details here)
- push it to Heroku.com:
git push heroku master
Once the server is running you need to post a string of html to it and that string will be rendered in WebKit and returned to you as a PDF document.
require 'pdfservice'
client = PdfService::Client.new 'http://my-pdfservice-app.heroku.com'
pdf_content = client.render '<html></html>'
Or, straight from a terminal:
curl -X POST http://my-pdfservice-app.heroku.com/ -d '<html></html>' > file.pdf
Patches welcome, forks celebrated.
