Eugeniy,
I current feel that PDF 'export' is a task of the printing sub-system and shouldn't
be part of an application. OSX as a print to PDF function, and I am sure Linux
can do the same through CUPS. For Window I believe there are several PDF
printer drivers that do the same.

Hi!
Did you hear about OpenOrienteering Mapper
(http://oorienteering.sourceforge.net/?p=92) ?
Mapper is a tool writen on C++ with Qt GUI (like LibreCAD) for
creating orienteering maps used user symbols sets, and the result is a
vector-like map, that can be printed or exported to different formats.
It has one very interested future option: Print->Printer or
exporter->Export to PDF or PS.
As I understand, that use some native Qt to PDF export. Is it real
make analog PDF export option for LibreCAD?
Yes, I know about difference in licenses of Mapper and LibreCAD, but
Qt is licensed in many different licenses, and if PDF export is a
native Qt option it can be used in LibreCAD without license-collision.
What you think?
