Zend_Pdf document abstraction model

[Alexander Veremyev]

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for the feedback!

I don't think formatting will have performance problems.
But PDF processing (generating PDF from ) may have...
Processing of ~1000 pages (PDF reference) with applying some
modifications on each page (drawing text and image) takes near 20sec in
my environment (not very fast).

I don't think all xsl-fo features should be implemented at first steps,
but I think it would be good to have this as a target goal.

PS I've just finished a draft of an API
(http://framework.zend.com/wiki/x/nI0). Comments and suggestions are
welcomed!

With best regards,
Alexander Veremyev.

I would like to open discussion concerning Zend_Pdf document
abstraction model.

Hi Alexander,
as a PHP Developer and user of Apache FOP, I'm highly
interested in a formatter written in PHP... so I could leave
the Java-Planet for now.
This formatter written in PHP should be fast, conforming to
the Standards and be easy to handle. For the first two
points, I think having an abstraction model (like XSL-FO) on
top of the Zend Freamework on top of the
PHP5 engine should be fast enough for some PDF pages. But what about a
(little) book with 30 or 50 pages? Are there any performance
pitfalls? Is there a maximum number of pages?
The W3C XSL-FO 1.0 standard depends on a long list of objects
and properties. How many of them do you plan to support? For
me this is one of the main questions on this topic. The
average web developer will hardly ever need the Common
Hyphenation Properties, e.g.
With best regards,
Tobias F.
