History of the Project

A comprehensive implementation for using Smalltalk images with PDFs was added to the PDF4Smalltalk library (see Images). This overdue feature was realized thanks to the encouragement of Bob Nemec, author of Report4PDF, and the generous funding from his employer, the Canadian engineering company HTS.

Gitorius is closing down. Therefore I decided to use my own webspace to host the PDF4Smalltalk documentation.

In the last 3 years, nothing much happened except for the occasional bug fix. But recently, I am more active again.

I am working on the ContentStream whith, hopefully, leads to higher level objects like texts or graphical elements instead of a stream of graphics operators.

Since the project is on my own server now, I hope that I will program and write a bit more…

This project was hosted at Origo until the end of Mai 2012. The wiki was recreated on Gitorius. Other contents was preserved as follows:

  • The Blog was recreated on this wiki at Blog. Until another place is found to host the blog, the old contents is preserved here for reference.
  • The static Forum contents has been reposted on the discussion list and can be seen in the archive.
  • The issue tracker was not used much… so I dropped it with the old contents.

Published the first version as open source.

Started to write documentation at Origo.

Started to implement the PDF specification as replacement for the PostScript output module for smallCharts.
