Yes, PDFtalk is the only example, because it was created to port that library. Any other uses are welcome.

��

The project has been dormant for a year now because of other obligations, but I hope to resume soon.

��

The documentation is, as Richard notes, in a suboptimal state. I think that the information is still accurate.

Any help with this would be welcome, for example by asking questions or by criticizing concrete issues.

The best(?) place to start is perhaps https://wiki.pdftalk.de/doku.php?id=smalltalktransform.

The only examples are various ports of PDFtalk (from VisualWorks) to Pharo, Squeak, GemStone, and VAST.

PDFtalk is quite complex and the porting rules are correspondingly complex. The Transform documentation does leave something to be desired.

Hi!

this topic pops up from time to time on the mailing list. I want to port a
number of packages to Pharo. I remember "Shaping" asking this for porting
PDFtalk.

1. Is the workflow still up to date or is there a new way of doing things?
2. From what I understand so far, I just need the following package from
Store:
- Smalltalk Transform Project
3.�� Is there a page that documents the process process in general?
https://wiki.pdftalk.de/doku.php?id=setupvisualworks seems to be specific
for PDFtalk like the thread on this list.

Kind regards,
Steffen
