I was thinking the same thing. The usual Smalltalk duplication of effort
seems to have been taken to new heights with PDF libs ;-)
I've loaded Artefact, browsed the code, tried the demos.
I've not seen the code for PDF4Smalltalk, because I can't figure out how
to browse it without VW. However, looking at the examples at:
https://gitorious.org/pdf4smalltalk/pages/Examples
I get the (possibly mistaken) impression that the two frameworks do
slightly different things, but the final result is a PDF in both cases.
Looking at the PDFDemos of Artefact, it's clear how text and tables can
be written. However, looking at the PDF4Smalltalk examples, it looks
like you have to position the text and tables in your own code. Of
course, I may be completely wrong about PDF4Smalltalk, since I've not
seen the full code base.
