[SOLVED] Prawn using a pdf template

Prawn using a pdf template

I want to generate a document with prawn that uses a PDF template.

I get no errors, but the template is completely ignored. Does anyone know why this might be? I would really appreciate any help!

class JobPdf < Prawn::Document

def initialize(job)
  super()
  @job = job
  text @job.title
  text @job.target_text
end

def render(job)
  doc = Prawn::Document.new({template: "#{Rails.root}/app/templates/jobs/layout.pdf"})
  doc.text job.title
  doc.text job.target_text
  doc.render
end

end

Jobs Controller:

 def show
  @job = Job.find(params[:id])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html
    format.pdf do
      pdf = JobPdf.new(@job)
      send_data pdf.render(@job),
      filename: "job#{@job.id}.pdf",
      type: "application/pdf",
      disposition: "inline"
    end
  end
end

Solution

Prawn has removed templates from its core apparently it is possible to use https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn-templates to still utilize them but note even prawn states that this is "very buggy"
