This is similar to how my PDF package works.
It actually extends PrintJob & Graphics, and allows you to build Portable
Document Format files. It has extra methods that allows you to include
hyperlinks, annotations and outlines into the document.
It's still in alpha, but a partially working copy is available at
http://www.retep.org.uk/pdf/
I'm working on it this weekend, so a new release will be on the site
Monday.
