We are proud to announce that Artefact is available in 1.0 version.

You can download it from: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~RMoD/Artefact

Artefact is a framework to generate PDF documents. It is fully written
in Smalltalk and doesn't require any native library. Artefact is
light, platform independant and offer to users a high level of
abstraction in order to easily creating PDF documents.

 * completely written in Smalltalk (and only Smalltalk),
 * complete freedom about the order of creation for pages, elements...
(no need to follow the document order)
 * multi format and orientation for pages
 * page composition based on reusables PDF elements,
 * extensibility by offering a composition standard to create your own
high level elements
 * styleSheet that can be reused in many documents and avoid wasting
time and place with duplication
 * image support with the JPEG format
 * pre-defined high level elements like datagrid
 * support PDF compression to produce compact files

A basic documentation is available in the help browser. Many examples
are implemented in the PDFDemos class.
