From the user POV, print to PDF is not intuitive, and a PDF data
translator that allows Save as PDF and/or even drag-and-drop to PDF
(as with the other translators) would provide a much more
intuitive/natural workflow to the user. PDF is just another format
anyway.

I have no clue how a PDF data translator could be implemented. I also
realize that this may be beyond the scope of this team. I think Simon
was trying to point out the POV of the users Haiku is trying to cater
to, as this sometimes can get lost in technical discussions, and I
just agreed with him. :)
