Re: A Something to PDF converter

I am wondering if anyone has written a Eurphoria library which makes PDF files. I have found several which are written in Java or PHP or C. This website has a list: http://www.ajaxline.com/10-best-libraries-for-generating-pdf
I did find one which does some text to PDF written by Maurizio Moroni many years ago. What I want to do is to write one which can handle 2D graphics. I am going to adapt it from one of the PHP ones first, and then come back to Euphoria. I would pick Euphoria first, except that the hosting server freehostia supports PHP, not something else.
I had often thought of porting fpdf (php only source file) to Euphoria. Is that what you were thinking? It would be a very welcomed edition to The Archive.

Yes. I like FPDF since it is such a small package. I am not going to make a complete port. But I went through the trouble of writing a postscript program which used ghostscript to make the PDF. And then I realized that if I could do what FPDF does in Euphoria, I do not have to worry all about if my user installed ghostscript and then have to call it from Euphoria.
