[squeak-dev] [ANN] Haru PDF Library binding for Squeak

Hi,

"HARU is a free, cross platform, open-sourced software library for generating PDF" - so why not use it from Squeak.

[1] includes a first rough version of a binding for the free Haru PDF library [2]. It's not fully complete but usable to start printing.
Use at your own risk and feel free to help moving it forward
(MIT License). The squeaksource repo is read/write.

See examples in class PDFDocument to get started. Since it uses
FFI an external library for your platform  is required [2].
Place it next to your SqueakVM.

Happy printing

Bye
Torsten

Just as an additional info without knowing anything about HARU:
the Rome framework also supports the Cairo PDF backend now.
We use that in Sophie for exporting Sophie content as PDF.

A comparison between the two approaches would certainly be useful.
