You need to MANUALLY turn your illustrator file into a template.pdf.erb
file (which is the same as a .html.erb file). You will need styles,
proper HTML, the whole works.
Then you make a controller action to accept the pdf mime type
    respond_to do |format|
        format.pdf {}

then follow the instructions on the wicked_pdf gem for all the other
configurations. It's not a simple process because of the wkhtmltopdf
binary.

Got it!! Thanks for the explanation. Would the same process that you explained work in this way?

1) Create a layout in Indesign (not illustrator)
2) Export the layout to Html/CSS. This is a built in feature
3) Embed the HTML in the template.pdf.erb
4) Supply the values dynamically in the template
5) Generate the PDF
