[Implemented] PdfVectorOutput for Windows
It would be great if PdfVectorOutput was also available on Windows (like it is on OSX and Linux). Is there a specific reason why it isn't?

I think, the missing lib GS (GhostScript) on windows is the reason. There is no lib (default) on windows, that we can use.DoubleDutch wrote:Is there a specific reason why it isn't?

Re: PdfVectorOutput for Windows
OSX and Linux have PDF output as part of the available APIs so it was very simple to add the command. On Windows, I have to write a PDF renderer from scratch to support it. I hope to do this sometime, but I cannot say when as it is a larger task.
