Since I’ve promised you to implement also the page setup handling for the OpenDocument to PDF exporter for AODL I have to make a short stop with the PDF export implementation. I’ve decided to do this, because the OpenDocument master page handling in AODL is up to now very rudimentary, but for generating the PDF layout I will need nearly all of the info stored within the master pages elements of an OpenDocument file. Of course, this will result in a later release date for the PDF exporter, but it has the nice side effect that the next version of AODL will also offer an easy handling for master page styles. Since the different OpenDocument formats needs also different handlings the next AODL version will as a start only offer full support for master page styles in text documents. When this will be done I will went back to the PDF exporter implementation. I hope to finish this task within the next two or three days.
