Wicked PDF is a PDF generation plugin for Ruby on Rails using wkhtmltopdf to convert HTML to PDF.

Wicked PDF uses the shell utility wkhtmltopdf to serve a PDF file to a user from HTML. In other words, rather than dealing with a PDF generation DSL of some sort, you simply write an HTML view as you would normally, then let Wicked take care of the hard stuff.

(From wicked_pdf's README)
