[Tioga-news] Scope of PDF Features

[Scott Henderson]

Hi,

I am considering Ruby (RoR) for an upcoming project.  This  
environment will be completely new to me, as my experience is in  
procedural programming.  Thus, I am trying to access the lay of the  
land before embarking forward into Ruby Land.

I would like to have complete flexibility in creating (new) or  
modifying (existing) PDF documents.  This would include inserting or  
overlaying database values.  It would also include converting  
Microsoft Word documents into PDF's (with inserted db values).

Is this something Tioga can provide?  Will I have a visual interface  
to Tioga (Mac OS X) that provides a flexible environment with which  
to create and debug my intended PDF handling?

Appreciate any information along these lines.

Thanks!

Scott Henderson
