Re: PDF output

There are many solution.

One I have used in a Forth accounting program:

"
================================================
PDFlib - A library for generating PDF on the fly
================================================

Portable C library for dynamically generating PDF ("Adobe Acrobat")
files,
with support for many other programming languages.

The PDFlib distribution is available from http://www.pdflib.com

PDFlib is a library for generating PDF files. It offers an API with
support for text, vector graphics, raster image, and hypertext. Call
PDFlib
routines from within your client program and voila: dynamic PDF files!
..."

Also, for inspiration:

"GL2PS is a C library providing high quality vector output for any
OpenGL
application. The main difference between GL2PS and other similar
libraries
(see section 6) is the use of sorting algorithms capable of handling
intersecting
and stretched polygons, as well as non manifold objects. GL2PS provides
advanced
smooth shading and text rendering, culling of invisible primitives,
mixed
vector/bitmap output, and much more...
GL2PS can currently create PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS)
and Portable Document Format (PDF) files, as well as LATEX files..."
