[cl-typesetting-devel] [ANNOUNCE] cl-pdf-parser

[Marc Battyani]

This is the first public release of cl-pdf-parser.
cl-pdf-parser enables cl-pdf to draw on existing pages and add new pages to
an existing PDF document.

I have been using this for a long time but it was based on Lispworks parser
generator and I was too lazy to write a recursive descent parser. Now that
cl-yacc is available, I used it to generate the parser.

Here is an example of an existing commercial pdf document opened by
cl-pdf-parser and modified with cl-pdf.
(The first page have been reduced and drawn a second time rotated+some
cl-pdf texts, the second page have been written on and a third page have
been added to the document.)
