WARNING: cl-pdf is moving to https://github.com/mbattyani/cl-pdf.git

CL-PDF is a cross-platform Common Lisp library for generating PDF files. It does not need any third-party tools from Adobe or others. When it is used with cl-typesetting it provides a complete typesetting system.

CL-PDF is released with a FreeBSD style license so it is usable for commercial work.

Currently there is no docs, only some examples (see examples/)

There are mailing lists for discussing cl-pdf: http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/cl-pdf-devel http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/cl-pdf-announce

To install it:

  1. Customize config.lisp
  2. Choose the zlib implementation to use in cl-pdf.asd
    Or get an implementation specific zlib in the contrib directory.
    Or disable the compression in config.lisp
  3. Load the cl-pdf library using the asdf or mk:defsystem files.
  4. Use it...

In case of problems, first disable the zlib compression and try again... You need to get a post 23-dec-2002 UFFI version if you use the UFFI zlib binding.

Contributions are welcome! For questions, comments, bugs, typos, etc. use the mailing list
