How to generate PDF forms in Ruby-on-Rails

I would like to generate PDF forms with radio buttons and submit buttons in it by using Ruby on Rails. Does anyone know if there is a Gem that can help with this task?

I've looked into

but they don't seem to have this feature. Currently I am just using Acrobat Pro to create my PDF and insert the form manually but would like to automate this with a Gem if possible.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

EDIT I just found 2 gems that can help insert radio buttons, check boxes, etc. while generating a PDF in rails: prawn-blank and prawn-forms. It doesn't seem like they are being maintained anymore but they should still be useful. Hope this is useful for others attempting to automate generating interactive PDF files too.

There's also RTeX. That works well if you're willing to translate to LaTeX first. LaTeX is a very good way to store marked-up documents. It just depends on how static each document is.
