Okay, just trying llPDFLib (wanted to try it before but didn't know...).

Btw.: I know you have much to do, but what about programming a

export-lib with primary PDF-Export for your Richview(edit)? That would

be a feature that makes your component even better :)

And PDF-Export would be a really *great* Feature, so, think about it :)


What about the voting? Do you start one?


Another thing I can imagine to export to PDF would be FOP: Using the

XML-Output of RichviewXML & XSL.

Sergey, ever thought about the possibilities you would have when having

a XML-Output? You could write your export-components with XSL and so on..


or wait, maybe I find the time to write such a component!?
