PDF generation isn't working

This appears to be caused by the split of Prawn into prawn and prawn-layout; the latter contained the table routines. However, the version of the Prawnto plugin we were using didn't know about Prawn layout, so I upgraded Prawnto.
That created another problem: current Prawnto has some Rails-2.2-specific stuff. I followed the patch in http://prawn.lighthouseapp.com/p... ; that should be removed when we go to Rails 2.2, but it will not do any harm.

That solved the problem on the local dev machine, but not on the production server. There's gotta be more going on, possibly to do with the Search model.

(from [56b24822c5ec2cd4098be3097798a6aba1e6eda5]) Use a less intractable sorting algorithm. Oddly enough, this seems to be partly related to the PDF bug. [#16 PDF generation isn't working] http://github.com/marnen/quorum2...

(from [dc838f12be4750c45e52fa86e74032405566c4a0]) Update PDF code for Prawn 0.4.0. [#16 PDF generation isn't working] http://github.com/marnen/quorum2...

- State changed from open to resolved
Turns out there were a couple of interacting bugs.
-
There was a Permission record that somehow referred to a null User, which gave the PDF generation code conniption fits. I don't know how that could have happened, but I deleted it from the DB. (The sort routine changed in commit 56b24822c5ec2cd4098be3097798a6aba1e6eda5 was a red herring.)
-
Prawn 0.4.0 changed the API on Font#size and Font#height_of.
Fixed in beta 2.9.2. The PDF file is still pretty ugly, but at least it works.
