Have you looked at the PDF writer released by SPL WorldGroup (see
http://www.splwg.com/download/download.htm for the (pretty liberal) license
agreement)?  I checked their web site (www.splwg.com) and found a reference
to a Java version of this package, but no reference to the Smalltalk
version.  I've got a copy of the Dolphin Smalltalk port produced by Jerry
Bell (jdbell at fareselaw.com) if you're interested.
