[REBOL] generating PDF (pdf-maker.r?)
From: tim-johnsons:web at: 10-Apr-2006 11:56
Hi All:
I've looked briefly at pdf-maker.r. Don't see any docs for it, (would be
helpful for something that uses a DSL (dialect)), but I would like to
try to sell my client on it, as opposed to python.reportlab
And among other reasons, the DSL approach should prove to be much more
efficient code-wise and it should be a good way to show off rebol.
Here's a link:

I would welcome Gabriele or anyone else that has worked with pdf-maker
to tell me if pdf-maker can generate a document like this (colors,
tables, etc).
If not with a little help, I should be able to bring it up to speed.
The goal is this:
Given a mysql database record, provide a document of type
application/pdf for a user to download.
comments, observations welcome.
:-) Help me to get away from the snake.
Python has much to recommend it, but it's strong point is not rendering
where a DSL can be some much more efficient.
cheers
tim
