Ruby on Rails Export CSV data to PDF

I have implemented CSV export, and now I am trying to export data to PDF.

How can one export the CSV data from the CSV generated file to PDF.

Thanks.

You can use prawn https://github.com/sandal/prawn to generate pdfs in ruby with some code like:

require 'prawn'
pdf = Prawn::Document.new
pdf.text(my_csv_data)
pdf.render_file('csv.pdf')
