[open-beos-printing] Open Tasks for PDF Writer

Hi developers of PDF Writer,
are other people also on this list?

Here is an incomplete list of open tasks:
1. bitmap creation for colorspace != B_ARGB32
2. Type1 identification
3. alpha channel support
4. pattern
5. clip to inverse BPicture
6. clip to string
7. documentation

1, 2, 6 should be easy to implement;
3 is supported by PDF 1.4 but not by PDFlib; temporary solution
could be to render an entire page into a bitmap (or slices..) if we
want to support it now; I vote against it or at least I will not 
implement it
4 is supported by PDFlib and probably also by xpdf/BePDF
5 I have no solution for that

Who wants to do what?

I could do 1, 2, 4 and 6, but I can only contribute to this project 
until the end of this month and have to postpone all my open source 
activities until later this year.
