Paging problem
SteveM
mailing labels approach), as a pdf.
I use draw text to produce my output, but am having trouble with 2
pages will print correctly then
the page gets scrambled.
Is there any counter I cans et or use in my program that will aloow me
to control hwen a new page is generated.
What I have seen of Ruport so far is pretty slick and I am replacing
our entire library of Jasperreports and JasperServer with Ruport!

This may or may not be a PDF::Writer bug. I'm not really maintaining
Ruport 1.x anymore, as Ruport 2 will be developed as soon as I have
time for it and will be Prawn based for PDF generation. But maybe
you can post a simplified example of what you are trying to do and one
of our users might be able to help offer some suggestions.

very cool. Things may change a bit in the near future with Ruport 2,
but I'm glad you like it so far.

I did some code digging and found that a simple solution was:
if cursor <= 88.0 then
pdf_writer.new_page
y = top_boundary
move_cursor_to(top_boundary)
end
after the last output statement in my iteration.
I am looking forward to Ruport 2.0 as everything works really well and
is easily understood.
Could have used something like it in my Smalltalk days. :)
Cheers,
