Interesting.
Do you think the basics could be included in the standard FPC
distribution ?

Perfectly. IMHO, PowerPDF is well modeled, separated by layers. My changes uses
pure FCL. :)
There are some things to be improved in PowerPDF:
. Native support to PNG images; (I'm working on this)
. Use a new version of PDF (at least 1.4);
. FlateDecode support; (I'm studying this right now)
. Removes LCL dependences; (I'm studying this right now)
I was thinking of creating a fork and work on it, but if these new changes can
be implemented PowerPDF and distributed in FPC, I would be very happy. :)
I would be happy too :-)
ps. IMHO, this is wrong:
https://github.com/jepafi/Free-JPDF-Pascal/blob/master/libjpfpdf.pas#L1681. He
promises to support multiple images, but internally it
converts them all to JPEG, and this causes lose quality in some images.
PDF supports PNG natively, but need to implement the specification exactly how
Adobe explains. Two explains below:
If you can implement the PNG support, then we could add it all to FPC in one
go, if the author agrees.
