Is there a way (library wrapper) of writing pdf file with Ruby ?
If yes, is this free ?

There are apparently 3 such packages available–check out
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-
cat.rhtml?category_major=Library;category_minor=PDF

Unfortunately, PDFLib, which appears to be the best supported of the
three, is not open source, though I believe the license has a free-for-
academic/research/personal use provision.

Ruby’s ClibPDF binding is great. I use it to generate the yaml.rb docs:

Download yamlrb-0.46.pdf (YAML.rb: YAML for Ruby)

The library is free for non-commercial use. Otherwise, you’ll need a
license:

Fast.io: Cloud Storage for Teams

The Panda binding is GPL, though. I found it to be a bit less mature
than ClibPDF, but I was still able to generate PDFs with it.

There’s a killer PDF library out that’s written entirely in PHP called
PDF-PHP [PHP Pdf creation - R&OS download | SourceForge.net]. If we could just run it
through php2rb…
