Hi
Yvonne,
I am
the person who is mostly to blame for the PCLRenderer. Unfortunately I have not
been able to work on it for a while - and I do not know when I will be able to
do so. Of course anyone else is free to work on it - but I have not seen many
others doing much on it.
If
there are some particular limitations that you find most onerous, perhaps I can
take a look at them... especially if they are easy to fix. However the main
limitations that I am aware of will require significant effort. These are
restoring SVG support, adding font support, adding color support,
etc.
At
present I think that it is unlikely that any significant limitations in the
PCLRenderer will be addressed in the short term. It is quite possible that this
could change. Next week I am planning on trying to get more resources committed
to XML reporting at my employer. If successful, I may be able to spend more time
on FOP.

Subject: PCL renderer limitationsHi,can you tell me if the PCL renderer will be improved? There are a lot of limitations, will they (or some of them) be abolished in the next release?Can you make a rough estimate how long it will take to abolish all these PCL-renderer limitations?Y. Moebius
