Hi, I'm using libharu with HPDF and is going well... maybe we can build a better smalltalk-side package (HPDF is good, but basic) and rely on an existing library, instead reinvent the wheel this time :) best, Esteban El 01/02/2012, a las 1:22p.m., S Krish escribió:
Additionally why not look at using XMLRPC bridge to do Jasper Reports.. or even CrystalReports..
Of course this will require little bit of backend work on a Groovy / Ruby/ Python
or Webservice link to JasperServer.. if its commercial..
or Ruby for its fairly workable pdf writer..
Great though to have a fully functional pdf writer in Smalltalk/ Pharo.

That looks quite promising.

Stef,
I've sent some markup directly, some additional ideas - perhaps only for later and/or more of a library than core functionality.
Improved printing subsystem - by which I mean PDF output. Business proposition: Without good PDFs many contemporary business practices are curtailed. For example, multi-page reporting charts being emailed to external clients.
Are you aware of the open-source library of Christian Haider?
Running multiple images on one VM with copy-on-write shared memory. Business proposition: To allow more images (owned by different clients) to be run (presumably) with less resources on resource limited web server platforms.
