= flyingsaucer

== DESCRIPTION:

The Flying Saucer gem gives JRuby access to the Flying Saucer XHTML renderer. It also provides Rails integration to simplify sending PDFs generated from XHTML to the browser.

== SYNOPSIS:

To add Flying Saucer to the JRuby classpath:

require 'flyingsaucer'

To use within Rails:

require 'pdffilter'

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  after_filter PDFFilter

  ...
end

Now any request with a :format of 'pdf' will be turned into a PDF using Flying Saucer on the way out to the browser.

== REQUIREMENTS:

• None (but the Rails integration only makes sense if you are using Rails)

== INSTALL:

jruby -S gem install flyingsaucer
