Well, the SuperCard crew has it 'easier', as they only need to support MacOSX 
and don't have to bother with offering equivalent functionality on Windows or 
Linux.

PDF export is available on Mac, by the way - see the 'printerOutput' entry in 
the dictionary. But yes, it is Mac-only. Of course, for cross-platform PDF 
export, you can always give Quartam PDF Library a try ;-)

As for better field formatting, I'm sure it's on the radar for the RunRev team. 
Rotation, skewing etc might very well be on their graphics shortlist, as part 
of complete transformation support.

Don't despair, file the enhancement requests in the quality control center and 
get votes for it - the best way to ensure the RunRev HQ is aware of your needs 
and wishes: <http://quality.runrev.com>
