What's everyone working on this week (40/2022)?
Making a PDF builder on top of https://crates.io/crates/printpdf, which is a bit low level to work (you have to manually calculate text position etc). This builder keeps track of position, margin, font management and so on so writing a PDF becomes straightforward.

Anyway to write a pdf top down using Rust?
Hello, this question may be quite specific, but has anyone successfully built a pdf document writing from top to the bottom? I am trying to programmatically generate a pdf document with text only using printpdf, but its use_text function generates text based on coordinates going from the bottom. Meanwhile, there is no way for me to determine the y-axis given the font size affects the distance to the bottom. Does anyone else here have a better strategy? Thank you very much

How to convert SVGs containing text to a PDF?
I then came up with the genius idea of exporting the PDF using Inkscape and then just edit the text of the PDF, but using lopdf the text is all stacked ontop of each other. How can I simply convert a SVG to PDF using Rust or change the text of a PDF using Rust?

Purdy: An experimental PDF renderer using WebGPU
I copied a lot from lopdf which is a terrific library for PDF parsing. I don't rely on it explicitly as a dependency because there are some things I'm choosing to do differently, but I'd say at least 80% of the parsing logic is the same so it helped me to bootstrap quite a bit.
What are some alternatives?
