PDF export for AODL/ODF - the current state of implementation
February 7th, 2007During the last two days I was able to implement the image support. The images should be positioned well, whether with or no surrounding text parts and keeping possible resize info of embed pictures alive. Therefor I have extended the AODL ODF graphic implementation in this way that the object will also offer all necessary base info e.g. real size, dpi y, dpi x, … needed by a resize recalculating for PDF. This mean if an embed graphic in an OpenDocument file is resized this will be also the case in the PDF document. Additional to that I have also implemented the handling of page breaks und the layout transformation from DTP points to in and cm with regarding the DPI output resultion. Now, the PDF view is very near to the ODF view. Of course only for supported ODF objects. First parts are available through the CVS repsoitory. I hope to do another check in this evening.
