I'm happy to announce we just did the first merge of Adam Blokus' GSoC work
(providing Export PDF functionality in NetSurf) to our main development
branch.

This means that this functionality is now available in the RISC OS
Development Builds <URL:http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/testbuilds>
or for anyone building his own copy using
svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/netsurf as SVN source (note: for the latter
ones, there are new library dependencies).

This GSoC PDF project is not over yet and we are aware of a couple of
issues which will be dealt with during the coming weeks.  The most important
ones are:

  - PDF files are currently uncompressed (hence, could become quite large)
    allowing us to examine them more easily.
  - A couple of possible size and render speed optimisation still need to
    be considered.
  - In the currently produced PDF files, standard fonts are used and there
    isn't proper Unicode support yet.  So it is likely you can see odd
    characters being used when viewing the PDF files.
    
Enjoy,
John, as mentor of Adam's work.
