1) PDF::Writer which is a little dated
2) Rupdf (http://scoop.simplyexcited.co.uk//2007/12/15/rupdf-simple-
ruby-pdf-rails-plugin/ andhttp://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/rupdf)
- it's a little dated. Last revision was on 15th of Dec, 2007.

Any recommendations for pdf generators?

wkhtmltopdf: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
Rails plugin: http://github.com/mileszs/wicked_pdf

you can generate PDF from HTML templates with CSS styling

Indeed a very promising project, but way behind on PrinceXML, so it depends on your budget and requirements in the end which one you choose. Also wkhtmltopdf is very memory hungry as far as I remember. That said, it's a pretty active project, so it's definitely something to keep an eye on.


Best regards
