You could create a class in library.rb that receives a testcase in the
constructor, and has a method report which receives the result and
does what you are doing in the above method. Then in your web.rb you
will create an instance of that class passing the testcase, then you
do your thing, and at the end you call the report method. Something
like:

#library.rb
class Report
  def initialize testcase
    @testcase = testcase
  end

  def report result
    pdf = PDF::Writer.new
    pdf.text @testcase, :font_size => 72, :justification => :center
    pdf.text result, :font_size => 72, :justification => :center
  end
end

#web.rb
require 'library'

report = Report.new testcase
#... your testing stuff
report.report result

Jesus.
