Hi Luis,

Because PDF Maker's dialect does not evaluate words. (That needs
to be added somehow, I hope I will be able to someday. :)
Workaroud: use compose/deep.
write/binary %pig.pdf layout-pdf compose/deep [
[ ;page 1
textbox [font Courier 4.8 "Example text 1."]
] [ ;page 2
textbox [center font Helvetica 2.8 "What?"]
] [ ;page 3
textbox [font Courier 4.8 (letter)]
]
]

DLAT> Question 3: How can one turn off justification?
You can use the following paragraph alignments:
textbox 15 100 100 160 [
justify {This paragraph will be justified. This is the default
paragraph alignment. Original text formatting is
lost.}
left align {This paragraph will be left aligned. Original text
formatting is lost.}
right align {This paragraph will be right aligned. Original text
formatting is lost.}
center {This paragraph will be centered in the textbox.
Original text formatting is lost.}
as-is {This paragraph will be left aligned.
The text will be rendered as is, so the original
formatting
is preserved. This is what you are looking
for if I understand correctly.}

DLAT> Question 4: I have version 1.21.0 of pdf-maker.r. Is that the latest?
Yup. :-)
DLAT> Question 5: I have a 6 page pdf-maker-doc.pdf, and a pdf-maker-doc.r. Is

Unfortunately, no. I am the one to blame for this.
DLAT> Question 6: What is the purpose of the following line at the beginning of
DLAT> pdf-maker-doc.r:
It's the image of a REBOL face that appears in the second page.
DLAT> Thanks for making pdf-maker.r available, Gabriele!
I'm very glad you find it useful!

Gabriele.
