Is it possible to export somehow the TextLayout XML format to PDF? Maybe a c++ library via alchemy?

This is not a perfect answer, but it does work.....
Let's say you are using the Pagination example, and want to get a PDF version of it.

You can use a printerdriver to print to pdf from the client.

Then to print your TextFlow, you can add your content to pages (which are Sprites) as in the Pagination example.

Create a PrintJob object, start the printjob, and choose your PDF printer driver, and in your code, add each page into the printjob.
Once all are added, send the printjob and you will have a pdf file of your TextFlow.

Your code would look something like this...

It makes sense that, given PDF and TLF are both Adobe technologies, effort should be put into making a bridge between them without having to rely on printer drivers or other externals.

What about FXG as an interchange format?
