XRT/pageformatter: Object-Oriented Printing Engine

XRT/pageformatter is a high-performance printing and Web publishing engine that can be embedded into almost any UNIX application. XRT/pageformatter provides an easy-to-use but powerful API for integrating text, graphics, tables and images into any document and output to virtually any printer or to the Web. XRT/pageformatter can output PostScript and HP-PCL as well as Adobe Acrobat documents. The advanced C/C++ library lets you format text and image output that can be printed on any PostScript printer. You can also preview the results before printing them using the included X/Motif-based on-screen previewer.
