Hi Sabine, Converting a PDF into a PNG with Pharo is not an easy task because you must write a PDF reader.
With Artefact, the other approach is to draw on a form instead of generating the PDF instructions. For geometrics items, It's relatively easy but the respect of paper formats and the management of fonts could be very complex. The difficulty is to have the same result between the PDF document and the simulated document written in a PNG file.
