I consider anything --> PDF to be out of scope / too > specialised here. To be a bit pedantic, I think you mean *building* an anything->PDF container is out of scope, not *using* one (or more), right?
Well, yes and sort of, respectively. ;-) I think of this as similar to anything --> HTML. Just as we're not about to build JSP, Velocity, et al, here, we're obviously not going to build iText, FOP, et al, here either. But just as we don't want to build the glue for every HTML generation tool here, we don't want to build the glue for every PDF generation tool here either. -- Martin Cooper --
