Re:Ask HN: What do you use for PDF reports these days? on Saturday October 11, 2014 @10:29PM (#8444102)
We use shrimp(https://github.com/adjust/shrimp) which internally uses phantomjs. It works well but you will need to do the page break yourself which can become a pain.

I disagree, If we are dealing with simple invoices and stuff. Once you start dealing with reports containing charts, it all goes haywire

PrinceXML doesn't support a lot of the Html5 and CSS3. Canvas support doesnt exist, so I cant print charts.

Its a terribly painful. I have tried every single one of the options. I am still finding it extremely difficult to get it working. Once I managed to get it to print to pdf, then started the bigger problem 'Paging'.

Paging is quite painful. I am writing my own code to split tables to fit into pages.

If you can solve this problem. I would gladly pay.

Re:Ruby 2.0.0 Released on Sunday February 24, 2013 @05:03AM (#5273644)
Is ruby 2.x faster than 1.9.x. Any benchmarking data?
I guess this is what it might have felt like when people first saw plastics.
