Hi all,

I plan to add PDF writing to create searchable PDFs from cuneiform on Linux.

So far I "only" did some light scrolling and grep'ing back and force over
the code, and as I have not yet fully memorized it's structure I wanted to
ask the ones already more familiar with the code before I start about the
best place to add such code.

So far I identified: cuneiform_src/Kern/rout/src/

In which I would start by making a copy of html.cpp to add the corresponding
PDF tag writeouts, using ExactImage
(http://www.exactcode.de/site/open_source/exactimage/)
for the actual PDF structure generation. (ExactImage SVN:HEAD only includes
very static pure image writing, but I already rewrote that part and have any
vector, font, image and multi-page writing in my local working copy, already).

Any hints welcome,

René
