I've just finished a first pre-release of CL-PDF the Common Lisp Library to
write PDF files

Could you test these files and post to c.l.l or email me if they work.
Please give the viewer and OS version number.

All four seem to work fine when viewed with Acroread 3.0 (Acrobat reader)
on a MIPS/Irix (SGI) platform. [And, yes, I know I need to upgrade,
but it's nice that Marc's writer works for the older versions, too.]

On NT 4, Acrobat Reader 5.01.

1, 2 and 3 work perfectly.
Number 4 works, but there is a warning: 
     "Illegal operation 'm' inside a text object"

m is a path construction operator that is not allowed inside text
objects.  See page 122 of PDF 1.3 spec available from:

http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/technotes/acrobatpdf.html

In other words, you cannot call FRACTAL while IN-TEXT-MODE.

You are right. I should have closed the in-text before the graphics stuff.
I've corrected it now.
People who had problems with ex4.pdf should try it again:

Hi Marc:

All of the files work ok on

  Adobe Acrobat 4.05 (not the Reader - I don't use the Reader)  
  on W2k SP2 running on HP Omnibook 6000 (PIII 650 MHz).

Acrobat identifies the files as "PDF Version 1.3".

Regards,
  Frank

Everything perfect with Acrobat 4 and Windows XP Professional, Spanish

Acrobat 5.0.5/WinNT 4 sp6 gives, "Illegal operation 'm' inside a
text object" for each page of ex4.pdf but this file appears
to display correctly. All the others give no errors.

All appear very nicely under acroread4.06/Linux running in FreeBSD's
linux emulator mode.  Of course. :)

Did you generated these files only with CL +
CL-PDF or are they translations of something?.

It's only CL + CL-PDF

The first one is made by this:

(pdf:with-document ()
    (pdf:with-page ()
      (let ((helvetica (make-instance 'pdf:font)))
 (pdf:add-fonts-to-page helvetica)
 (pdf:in-text-mode
  (pdf:set-font helvetica 36.0)
  (pdf:move-text 100 800)
  (pdf:draw-text "cl-pdf: Example 1"))
 (pdf:translate 230 500)
 (loop repeat 101
       for i = 0.67 then (* i 1.045)
       do (pdf:in-text-mode
    (pdf:set-font helvetica i)
    (pdf:move-text (* i 3) 0)
    (pdf:draw-text "rotation"))
       (pdf:rotate 18))))
    (pdf:write-document #P"ex1.pdf"))

I could view all the examples with Ghostscript 7.03 on a Win2k
machine...
...but example 1 gave me a headache when I looked at it too long. Oh
well...

All of these look fine when viewed using xpdf version 0.93.
