Is anybody working actively on direct PDF output?
Not that I know of. It's an awful amount of work, and so far our plan was to lift, one day, the PDF code from Scribus and reuse it in Inkscape. Scribus' PDF is quite good.
Anyone know how Cairo is coming along? I thought it was a more likely route to gain PDF support from the GTK angle but I didn't realise the Scribus PDF code would be something Inkscape could eventualy reuse.
Yes, I've been keeping an eye on their list. There have been some discussions about the PDF support in Cairo. I think it'd probably be worth at least a review, if anyone wants to start looking at reworking the PDF layer in Inkscape.
