setup for prawn, prawnto on heroku


I'm trying to use prawn, prawnto for generating pdfs in a rails application hosted on heroku.

But I'm struggling on the setup.

Is it possible to use prawn, prawnto on heroku?

Is there a guide explaining what I should do?


Solution

  • Now I've found a solution.

    first of all I created a .gems file in the root directory with

    prawn
    prawn-layout
    

    so heroku installs the gems by itself.

    prawnto is a plugin and could be installed with

    script/plugin install git://github.com/thorny-sun/prawnto.git
    

    in the vendor/plugin directory.

    Now, its working fine. My fault was, that I thought the .gems file is just for choosing from the preinstalled gems.
