We need to remove the gem RFPDF, whose files we bundle in our core repository, and replace it with the more up to date Prawn.
Many reasons for this: first it is the recommend path by the original author, as he stopped updating the gem in 2011. Second, the bundled files, of which there are many, degrade our score in code climate significantly because some of them don’t even parse. Third they are taking up 3+ MB of space, almost as much as our spec folder. Forth it will be almost impossible for a new dev to work with the library, should the need for PDF functionality arise.
