If using an online/cloud service is an option, you might want to look at Docmosis. It can generate PDFs using a rest interface and has at least one Ruby example. Please note I work for the company that created Docmosis.

Prawn or PDFKit seem to be the two most popular right now. Each has their ups and downs depending on what you are trying to do and the styles they want to apply. For PDFKit here is an article talking about how it integrates with Rails
