Moin,
the port is almost done. Then I will add documentation and publish the code
under MIT licence.
Including the code used to port the library from VW to Gemstone using a novel
approach.
The heard of the “PDF engine” is the type system which allows the assignment of
Smalltalk classes to raw PDF objects.
In the new version, the PDF types are decoupled from the Smalltalk classes, so
that classes can be renamed freely (i.e. adding prefixes).
I think that porting the new version to Pharo (and VA and …) has gotten much
easier.
I hope that someone would take the challenge :).
Cheers,
Christian

Look at slides PDFtalk for Gemstone
<https://www.slideshare.net/esug/pdftalk-for-gemstone> from last ESUG about
porting it to Gemstone (which is done).
Maybe it is similar as porting GLORP into Pharo. Somebody can comment on this
process.

Looks like a worthwhile exercise
PDFTalk https://wiki.pdftalk.de/doku.php
"The syntax is covered comprehensively, which means that any PDF file
can be read and any PDF object can be written in a conforming way.
Typical PDF objects are dictionaries of which many are specialized as
Smalltalk objects.
The library code is annotated with the original descriptions and
definitions from the specification, so that learning about PDF itself
is well supported. "
I wonder what the main issues would be when porting this to Pharo.
