Hi
I've made several changes to powerpdf unit
it consist:
- possibility of using char form charset 1250:aogonek, Sacute, Zdotaccent (simple change to other)
- draw vertical text

using this unit without dependency of Lazarus (even pdfImage depends only from fpImage)

My source in http://www.emadar.com/fpc/powerpdf(darek).zip

Is any interesting to integrate this with ccr version?

And by the way. I write library, which can draw on canvas form screen (tControlCanvas), printer, PDF, postscript and soon on HTML canvas. I use them to prepare reports on different media.
Is any , who need something like that.

In the mean time, PowerPDF (our version) can convert from UTF-8 to 1252 and support for the rest of 1250 not included in 1252 can be added easily.

Maybe you based your port on very early PowerPdf version or maybe our version was based on a too old powerpdf version? (I think the former) I have compared both versions and they are too diferent.

have you tried our version?, what are the main advantages of your version over ours? (I understand that a powerpdf independent of LCL it's good one).

Except by HTML canvas (and not as easy as changing just the backend but) it seems there is already support for everything else but I'm not sure maybe you need features that are currently available in the current implementation?

I use powerPdf for years

not so many, but i know this, thus I send whole, and someone can choose what part can be prepare

have you tried our version?,

yes, but not whole,
pdfimage is base direct from ccr version

what are the main advantages of your version over ours? (I understand that a powerpdf independent of LCL it's good one).

some minor bugs like

    procedure SetTextMatrix(a, b, c, d, x, y: Word);             {  Tm  }

should use single
or circling dependency (pdfFonts use pdfdoc)

I will keep your code at hand for future improvement of ccr PowerPDF. Thank you.

Absolutely. But it exists already: all you need to do is draw on a TFPCustomCanvas class; Your code will then be able to draw on screen, printer, pdf and whatnot, because the canvas classes in the LCL descend from TFPCustomCanvas.

of course its good choice, and I say about something similar, but its not ready do use:

powerPDF is not based on it,
second: what about scaling factor, PDF has different handling bitmap, font style are also different
there is also problem with last point on drawing line

where is implementation of postscript and html
