PDF Writer is now part of the print_kit of the Haiku Project.
PDF Writer plugs into Haiku's print_server as a printer driver. This allows any application that can print to save its output as a PDF.

Read the CHANGES file for the most recent changes.
- Limited alpha transparency support only (bitmap/pattern only)

BePDF until version 0.9.4 does not take the alpha channel of transparent bitmaps or patterns into account; Acrobat Reader shows them properly!
