Question

I\'m using Prawn and Prawnto to display a PDF-based reports to the user, but in some circumstances, I\'d also like to save the PDF as an attachment to one of my models. I\'m usi

Answer 1

This worked for me

pdf = Prawn::Document.new(:page_size => "LETTER", :page_layout => :landscape)
pdf.render_file File.join(Rails.root, "app/pdfs", "x.pdf")
current_user.certificate = File.open("#{Rails.root}/app/pdfs/x.pdf")
current_user.save!

Where certificate is what my paperclip attachment is saved as in the model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attached_file :certificate
