@canjianx

getting the same error.

Were you able to find any fix for it.

--EDIT--

I guess the latest version of Prawn PDF does not support Templates anymore and so this would not work.

I'm not getting an error, I'm just getting blank PDFs.

I am also getting blank PDFs.

prawn removed support for :template as of 0.14.0 :( causing the blank pages

Officially, Prawn dropped template support, so it will not work.
See more about that: prawnpdf/prawn#376

PS. Sorry, didn't see @bhh post :)
