Re: Export to PDF?

[Peter Senna Tschudin <peter senna gmail com>]

It is funny that nobody cares about my original question. So please
focus on my question. Let's start again:

-- // --
Are there any plans of making dia export to PDF? If not, can I ask it

-- // --

-- // --

-- // --

Thanks,

Peter
