Hello Kevin, Thanks a lot for these answers. I have the full picture. I need an automated solution (at least), which will render things on the fly, but I'll definitely look along that road (and server-side). I will let you and the list know if I find anything interesting.
thanks! Cedric ps: I don't want to fool Adobe, but here is the answer I got from the official TLF forums :) (sorry list, I cross posted ... ) "TLF -> SWF In Acrobat, SWF -> PDF" LOL, like I'd be playing legos (I'm starting to wonder if Adobe knows that people are building true programs on automated processes with their software solutions ??!!?? ) > Hi Cédric, > > I think you can open FXG (and TLF) in Illustrator or InDesign and save it out > as a PDF from there. > > It should also be possible to create an AIR app (or Flash) that renders the > FXG or TLF using the TLF library, then use PrintJob to print to PDF on > Windows with Acrobat Distiller, or natively on Mac OSX. > > If you need something more automated, I'm not sure what you'd use - but there > may be an AS3 library that can export your stage elements to PDF (it'd need > to support FTE, which is what the TLF lib distills your TLF/FXG xml into, > when it adds it to the stage).
