The Rfpdf Plugin now has Ruby port of the popular TCFPDF php project. Besides e-ruby template view support (.rfpdf files) the plugin now supports UTF-8. Right-to-Left support is in the works. Stay tuned.

View the test_unicode then view the source code.
Install plugin:
Just like many Rails plugins:
ruby script/plugin install http://rfpdf.googlecode.com/svn/rfpdfor, direct from the repository into vendor/plugins:
cd vendor/plugins svn co http://rfpdf.googlecode.com/svn/rfpdfor, if you are up on Git (the code is now maintained here so this is a good place to be):
git clone git://github.com/edwinmoss/rfpdf.git vendor/plugins/rfpdf
