select_pdf_api

A wrapper for the selectpdf.org public API.

The selectpdf.org online API allows you to create PDFs from web pages and raw HTML code in your applications.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'select_pdf_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install select_pdf_api

You'll need to have a config folder and at least the default select-pdf-config.yml file. Inside your config folder you'll be able to have as many config.yml files as necessary.

mkdir config
touch select-pdf-config.yml

Inside your select-pdf-config.yml:

key: 'service api key'

See the API Documentation for all the options.

Usage

Default
pdf_doc = SelectPdfApi.new({url: "http://www.google.com"})   # Load the default select-pdf-config.yml and setup the url to capture. 
pdf_doc.download   # Save result to the default ./document.pdf
Load a specific config per download

sites = [
  {url: "http://www.google.com", save_to: 'google_com.pdf'},
  {url: "http://mail.yahoo.com", save_to: 'mail_yahoo.pdf', 
    config_file: 'password-protected-yahoo.yml'}]

sites.each do |options|
  pdf = SelectPdfApi.new options
  pdf.download
end
Changing config options
pdf = SelectPdfApi.new   # Loads default config file.
pdf.config.load_config('wide_margins.yml')   # Load wide margin options.
pdf.download
