Ah, I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that.

I would be interested in that. I'm developing on Lispworks anyway,
and portability is not my primary concern right now. (I've never used
Lispworks' parser generator, by the way. Were you happy with it? If so,
then one way to make your PDF-parser portable would be to write a portable
version of Lispworks' generator.)

Thanks a lot for your answer,
