My new job involve that i have to learn quickly how ruby on rails works and understand all tips and methods previous programmers used on that project. i use ruby v1.8.7 and rails 2.3.5 my target is to be able to print document and export to excel several arrays populated with databases data. I already find out several messages here and tried them but i was not able to have one working fine. i didn't succeed to have pdfkit working on my ubuntu server for sample.

For the spreadsheet you might want to try the spreadsheet gem which is an improvement over the old ParseExcel library.
