PDFlib has a free version.
Then, there's GNU PDF:

I highly recommend PDFNet from PDFTron; it is commercial but their free evaluation version lasts a long time (specially on Linux).
Stop already! Sorry, but those are libraries and we need a complete solution for docbook to PDF transformation, as I said in another message, the hard part isn't writing the PDF, it's paginating
the
document, that's why no one has written a home-grown solution, now would it be sensible to try when there are already complete working solutions IMO.
I agree - if is ain't broke, don't fix it! The very discreet acknowledgement to RenderX is a tiny price to pay for a working system. And despite some people being sniffy about the appearance of the PDf, (I still like Times Roman) having a single file for each library is jolly useful. And lots of thanks to John for the hassle of producing them all. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
