PDF pops up again... I've been trying for a while to find PDF public
(?) specs to implement PDF output in make-spec. Has anyone a hint?

Try using XML with a PDF XSLT for your output. I use the same for my
resume to output to HTML or PDF. I don't see why Rebol would not be
able to do so unless perhaps it doesn't support stylesheets applied to
output.

As usual, five minutes after posting a public request of help I got
lucky and found what I need myself.
If anyone is interested in PDF specs, he can find them at
<http://www.pdfzone.com>.
At first glance there are no problems to generate a PDF file with
REBOL as I expected, but... you have to read a 518 pages manual
before!
For a while I'll stick with the native PDF printing capabilities of MacOS X...

(about creating PDF file on server from web-form data)

My current solution.. (not optimal I know.. but I have no time to make it
right)
1) Convert Gif/jpeg images to EPS files (3 different programs used)
2) Create LaTex source file (with form data + uploaded images) on server
side scripting
(currently PHP4, no time to install/test rebol (next time yes..))
3) Use LaTeX, dvipdf and then uuencode/attach/mail it to client
But I really hope some day I can make this with one program (=REBOL), as I
read that PDF spec and it's definitely doable.
