That is simple: in smallCharts, the product I use PDF for, I do have more or less elaborate models of graphical objects and text. But these are very much tied to the application and quite specific for my needs so that I don't think it is too useful for general consumption. Instead, some general abstractions/concepts should be developed bottom up based on broader use. Christian
