Wouldnt it be nice to generate your PDF reports the same way, by outputting HTML?
If youre running JRuby on Rails, this is a piece of cake! Using the great Flying Saucer Project (AKA xhtmlrenderer), you can convert your HTML + CSS to PDF documents. The great thing about Flying Saucer is that it will mostly render your HTML to PDF the same way standard compliant browsers will render it to screen. You have most of CSS 2.1 at your disposal, plus some custom CSS properties to handle print-specific matters such as paginated tables, and complex headers and footers. It has suprisingly few bugs, which really is an achievement when youre talking about a HTML renderer. Did I mention its pretty fast, even for very large documents?
Of course, this is a Java library, so you need to be running JRuby to use it from your Rails application (or you need to resort to interfacing with it through the command line).

While most of my recommendations in that article are still valid, I wanted to publish this update to share what Ive learned.
