What is the easiest way to create PDF files from Haskell?

Read the PDF manual from adobe, it is not that hard. Fonts are a little harder, but not too much.
I have often generated PostScript from Haskell, which is much easier. PostScript is a nice little concatenative programming language. The basics are easy to learn, and you can copy things like the page setup and fonts from the output of OpenOffice.Org, which is quite readable. Then you convert the PS to PDF using any of the nice utilities around for that, like the ones that come with xpdf, poppler, ghostscript, etc. Regards, Yitz
