This would probably work pretty good. I've done it before.  A ruby
wrapper for this would be most appreciated, if anyone is looking for a
project!

If you do this, I suggest using Ruport instead of PDF::Writer for your
PDF stuff.  Of course, Ruport just wraps PDF::Writer, but it fixes
some bugs (thanks to Austin Ziegler) and adds some higher level
features and helps wrap the formatting code.

Some relevant docs if that's feasible for you:
