No make_table method in Prawn::Document

I have a Rails 3 app that produces PDF documents using Prawn.

In the Gemfile I have:

gem "prawn", '= 0.12.0'

gem 'prawn-layout'

However, following the example at https://github.com/sandal/prawn/blob/master/examples/table/bill.rb, I am trying to create a table using the make_table method of the Prawn::Document class. This works fine when I run the example on its own, but not when I run the equivalent code in my Rails environment.

Below is the problem in its simplest version in the Rails console. The make_table method is not in the Document object.

Anyone has any hints?

Thanks!

You do not need gem 'prawn-layout' in your Gemfile. As quoted from https://github.com/sandal/prawn-layout :

NOTE: prawn-layout has been merged into the main prawn repository as of 2010.02.25 (http://github.com/sandal/prawn), however the stable branch of prawn-layout 0.8.x is still hosted here.

Simply remove prawn-layout from your Gemfile and try again.

    >> pdf = Prawn::Document.new
    pdf.methods.grep /table/
    => [:table, :make_table]
