+One problem I've run across a couple of times at work is generating automated PDFs. While reading the Ruby section of Artima, I stumbled across "Creating Printable Documents with Ruby", which cover's Austin Ziegler's PDF library for Ruby, PDF::Writer.

+I'm wondering how long it'll take before someone writes a PDF target for RI, or, even better, RDoc. In the mean time, I have something that'll give me an excuse to use more Ruby at work. +
