Hi Milton: I am afraid I fall into the busy category. I have printed to both a printer and PDF before; but have not explored the use of Batik as an output format personally.
The symbology rendering code may use a buffered image right now; but it should be capable of using a swing Icon (ie a promise to draw something in a specific location). Making this change would allow the decision to use a buffered image or not (inside the Icon) to be configured via a hint or something (or by looking at the DPI session).
