Regarding the whole Java-thingie, I just have this pragmatic point of view: What is the alternative to providing an applet for easy PDF positioning (which is important for everyone seriously using the PDF feature? I don't see how this can be done with today's techniques, even though you all keep saying you don't like Java. :)
I did not _say_ it :)
I did _write_ it :)
Can't easy positionning be done without dragging? just with js and some clicking? see http://javascript.internet.com/games/battleship.html
OK guys, I think, I'll be busy trying to beat this battleship AI for a while... don't expect quick answers...
Well in javascript can be written many things... http://www.fczbkk.com/js/worm/index.html When you want draging, it is also possible: http://www.fczbkk.com/bordel/defect/index.html :-)
Marc, could you code something like that for our PDF creation mechanism? Personally, I'm not that good at JS. :-(
I'd also like it more in JS than in Java, because JS doesn't eat so much memory, but I'm probably not able to write such thing...
How about waiting if this person ever mails back (which he hasn't done so far) and let's evaluate that applet from a user's view?
If he/she/it does so, please ask, if someone would keep on working on the applet in the future. I'm not that experienced with Java, so I won't be able to work on incoming bug reports etc and I guess I'm not the only one... :-)
We're discussing about somehing we haven't seen yet, we don't know whether it works and is usable :-). Let's wait for the applet and decide then. But I'm also not able to maintain it...
