Compile Pdf

If you have multiple format files like Image files(Eg. .png, .jpg, .jpeg etc.), Document files(Eg. .doc, .docx, text etc.)

or PDF files and now you want to make a single PDF with all format of files,

this gem will help you to compile multiple format files into single pdf.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'compile_pdf'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install compile_pdf

Usage

Currently this is only supported with following format files:--

1. Image Files(Eg. .PNG, .JPG, .JPEG etc.)
2. PDF files(Eg. .pdf)
3. Text and Note files(Eg. .txt etc. )
4. Document files(Eg. .docx, .doc etc.)

Open Rails console:-

require 'compile_pdf'

extend CompilePdf

compile_pdf_module(file_array, attachment_object_name, file_name = nil)

file_array: Take the required files which you want to convert into a pdf

attachment_object_name: If you are using PaperClip as File uploader module

 has_attached_file :attachment

Then your attachment_object_name will be "attachment"

file_name: Default will be Time.now or else you can specify your own PDF name.

For Example:--

 file_array = File.all

In your File model if

 has_attached_file :attachment

attachment_object_name = "attachment"

file_name = "my_attachment"

 compile_pdf_module(file_array, attachment_object_name, file_name)

Default file location will be Your Project root folder "tmp/" folder

I have tested with PaperClip and Aws S3 and its working fine.

Soon I will release for "Dragonfly", "attachment_fu" and "CarrierWave" attachment gem.

Dependency

This gem is highly dependent on :-

1. gem "yomu", "~> 0.1.9" , :platforms => :ruby
2. gem "prawn", "~> 1.0.0.rc2" , :platforms => :ruby

If you have any other version of Prawn it may conflict with 'Compile Pdf' gem.
