Slim2pdf renders [slim template](http://slim-lang.com/) with data hash and saves the results as pdf file.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'slim2pdf'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install slim2pdf

## Usage

```ruby
require 'slim2pdf'
```

writer = Slim2pdf::Writer.new
writer.template = 'template.slim'
writer.data = {name: 'John', surname: 'Doe'}
```

writer = Slim2pdf::Writer.new('template.slim', {name: 'John', surname: 'Doe'})
```

### Possible actions
