A couple of caveats: 1. You'll see two dependencies there on aXSL Font, one in the method in GraphicPdfContext, the other is the FontConsumer instance. A separate font system is needed because Batik uses AWT fonts, and there is no way to get to the content of an AWT font to embed it into your PDF. So the aXSL Font implementation kind of wraps both the physical font file and the AWT font created from it, allowing it to work in both worlds. If you don't have fonts in your PDF and don't want to go to the trouble of using an aXSL Font implementation, we may need to do a little work to avoid that overhead. 2. FOray is right on the cusp of a release, so the implementation of the API above is not released ATM. If you wanted to use it right now, you would need to build FOray. However, I hope to have the FOray release done within the next week. 3. This package just dumps the PDF commands into an OutputStream that you give it. You will need something to manage the rest of the PDF creation. PDFBox and FOray PDF (and probably others) can both do that, but that is a topic that is way too big to discuss here. If you want to pursue this further, inquire on the FOray support mailing list, and I'll be glad to help you there, either with FOray Graphic or FOray PDF: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/foray-support Victor Mote --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
