I tried looking for different gem including wicked PDF, prawn, prawn forms, pdf-forms etc gems to enable a user to export editable PDFs but these gems weren't helpful. Can anyone guide me about any other gem or plugins that could be used for this purpose.

What you are searching is AcroForm / PDF Interactive Form. You can use PDFTron or Origami. I was using origami gems.

  1. For PDFTron, you can check start from here and here.

  2. For origami you can start from here.

There are hardly any documentation for both, so you have to try a lot until it works like what you want.

I used origami because it is just a gem. Unlike pdftron, I don't have to install anything.
