Nice, chromic\_pdf is great. The issue is it cant modify existing PDFs or create / work with form elements. Something like ruby's prawn would be great. Some things are possible using pdftk but nothing like the great Prawn experience to truely create PDFs. Elixir is missing a GOOD pdf gen library.

Agreed. I don't have experience with prawn. It seems to be a very good library. It would be awesome to have one in elixir.
