New Fl_PDF_File_Surface class to have FLTK create PDF documents Manolo 01:54 Apr 30  
 
To fellow FLTK developers

In agreement with Albrecht and Matthias, I've just committed a new class to appear
in FLTK 1.4 named Fl_PDF_File_Surface derived from class Fl_Paged_Device.
With this, any FLTK graphics can be put in a PDF document. Any text in any script
and any font is output in vectorial form. All graphics except images are vectorial.
All image formats supported by FLTK can be output. The 4 platforms support this
provided some 'modernity' condition is met.

On legacy systems, the same or similar result can be obtained with FLTK :
- install a "PDF printer" package, use class Fl_Printer, and directs it that printer;
or
- use class Fl_Postscript_File_Device (no vectorial output for non Roman text).
