This is what I have so far, but I need to set margins:

  def send_fax 
 22     contact = Contact.find_by_id(self.contact_id)
 23     
 24     pdf = Prawn::Document.new
 25     pdf.font "Times-Roman"
 26     pdf.move_down(20)
 27     pdf.text "ATTN: #{contact.first_name} #{contact.last_name}", :size => 24, :style => :bold
 28     pdf.text "RE: #{self.subject}"
 29     pdf.move_down(20)
 30 
 31     pdf.text "#{self.body}"
 32 
 33     OutboundMailer.deliver_fax_email(contact, self, pdf)
 34 
 35   end
