    Hi,

    It would not be easy to generate PDF directly. However I have written a specification sheet generator that uses XSL FOP and SVG graphics. The good part is that it's all free. Take a look at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/

    I can provide some small examples if you like.

    CHeers, Dave

    I've written a PDF export tool using PDFlib (exe file which complies a instruction file to a PDF).
    see ftp://download.nvidia.com/downloads/pdf_print/ you can compile the C-file with the free PDFlib sources and use as postprocessor. This way I can plot PDF from ConceptHDL or AllegroPCB.

    Hi, I have attached a trivial example. Note that you will need to download the fop utility from: http://mirror.utdlug.org/apache/xmlgraphics/fop/ I also see that 0.93 is now available. You should use this - but I haven't tested the sample code on it. Cheers, Dave
