True, true. But once you roll your own little functions that are _just_ simple enough for your app, life gets good.

pdflib is wonderful but...
The learning curve is high. For instance: the coordinate system is basically *upside down* starting from the bottom left hand corner of the page. The formatting is fairly low level too-- you have to take in to consideration character spacing, line spacing, font metrics.... You can even draw paths but i have yet to attempt this (and I don't think I want to).
