It's written in Python, runs fast and produces really neat PDFs from HTML/CSS (at least when I did a test-run). There are lots of examples included with the source.

I'll definitely take a look at it. @Morgan Roderick - It's not that I don't like learning new things, it's just I know where I stand with html/css. The stuff we've been working on, generates PDFs that can be 100+ pages. I know I can achieve this a lot quicker in html than with Prawn's markup. Re: Nested statements.

It seems a bit of a paradox, working with Rails and refusing to learn something new ;-) Anyhow, I just wanted to point out, that CSS does not allow for nested statements.
