= Ezprint

Ezprint is a drop in replacement for the princely plugin. It uses PDFKit
as the backend instead pf princexml, possibly saving you millions of 
dollars. I recommend using the Rack middleware component of PDFKit to 
print PDFs in rails, but this plugin makes an easy transition from 
prince->PDFKit for those using princely.

== Example

    The examples here are similar to princely, since the 
    plugin is basically a reworking of the princely source

    class PDFExample < ApplicationController
      def show
        respond_to do |format|
          format.html
          format.pdf do
            render :pdf => "My Awesome PDF", 
                   :template => "controller/action.pdf.erb",
                   :stylesheets => ["application","print"]
                   :layout => "pdf"
          end
        end
      end
      
      # Alternatively, you can use make_and_send_pdf to
      # render out a PDF for the action without a
      # respond_to block.
      def pdf
        make_and_send_pdf("file_name")
      end
    end

== Render Defaults

The defaults for the render options are as follows:

    layout:      false
    template:    the template for the current controller/action
    stylesheets: none
