Adding a blank page via Prawn and adding text to it.

[stag...@nycopportunity.nyc.gov]

Hi all, I'm currently working on building an application that uses a FormService, retrieving data from JSON and then parsing it into a PDF form.

Currently, from the JSON response I get a field with notes. The notes field is text that I would like to add into a blank pdf page.

{ "field" => "12345", "value" => "Some text to add to a PDF blank page" }

I would like that text into a Blank PDF.

def pdf_scrie_application(submission)
    user_data = submission['data']
    binding.pry
    pdf = CombinePDF.new
    file_name = name_file(submission)
    pdf_path = PdfScrie.new(user_data, formstack_fields).export(file_name)
    pdf << CombinePDF.load(pdf_path)


    attach_docs_from_submission(user_data).each do |file|
      data = client.download_file(file)
      is_pdf = (data =~ /\%PDF-\d+\.?\d+/) == 0


      unless is_pdf
        format_image = StringIO.new(data)
        pdf_prawn = Prawn::Document.new(page_size: 'LETTER', margin: 0)
        pdf_prawn.image(
          format_image,
          fit: [
            PDF_PAGE_WIDTH,
            PDF_PAGE_LENGTH
          ],
          position: :center,
          position: :center
        )
        data = pdf_prawn.render
      end


      pdf << CombinePDF.parse(data)
    end

I'm looking for some guidence on how to accomplish this. Any information regarding adding text to a blank page in prawn is highly appreciated
