[Typo3-dev] PDFlib and Typo3

 *hiya!*

 Yes.

 (Python, Open Source)

 I wrote a class for Typo3 that utilizes pdflib, but it's far from being
 ready for publishing.. (even though a client is using it in a production
 environment already)
 It's merely a simple layout engine for standard Typo3 elements (text,
 text/picture, lists, tables, ..) and needs a redesign to be generally
 useful... so some groundwork is done... send me your ideas and
 requirements and I'll think about to develop it further... ;-)
