Another (a bit lower-level) option would be to produce a
PostScript file and pass it to (e)ps2pdf.
Then that begs the question about how to generate ps in D and
just kicks the can down the road.
PostScript is a programming language and PS files are plain text
files with programs written in it, so formatted file output is
your friend here.
"Lower-level" means that you need to take care of the layout of
items on a page manually, using physical positions. It's quite
straightforward for simple vector graphics, but not so much for
multi-page text documents with figures and tables.
