Did you generate this PDF on Windows? People have mentioned Windows
issues on this list lately.

That is a lot of code. Please try removing parts of the code,
generating the file and opening it, until you get a minimal file that
has the error.

Ok i try, maybe that way i can find the problem myself (was a too simple
solution to come in mind ... :P )

[Dott. Scolavino Alessandro]

the line that generate my error is this:

pdf.render_file "#{path}"

I think the problem arise since i'm saving the pdf and also i'm sending
it as render result, any suggestion to accomplish this task without
having that error (that prevent the pdf from being printed...)?

What PDF reader are you using? Prawn only officially supports Adobe
Reader and OS X Preview[0], but that error message may be indicative
of a problem in the PDF that Prawn is generating.

Can you send us a code sample that we can run that is very short? (As
short as possible to reproduce the problem)
And then also send us the generated PDF.

Make sure to do this outside of Rails.
