PDFlib is a library of C routines which allow you to programmatically
generate files in Adobe's Portable Document Format PDF. PDFlib
acts as a backend processor to your own programs. While you (the
programmer) are responsible for retrieving or maintaining the data
to be processed, PDFlib takes over the task of generating the PDF
code which graphically represents your data. While you must still
format and arrange your text and graphical objects, PDFlib frees
you from the internals and intricacies of PDF. Although being far
from complete, PDFlib already offers many useful functions for
creating text, graphics, images and hypertext elements in PDF files.

As announced on 27 March 2003 in <20030328052350.GA18971@rot13.obsecurity.org>,
remove these ports that have been broken for >4 months (in many cases much
longer) with no sign of a fix.
new port pdflib3 (repocopy from pdflib): version 3 of pdflib has odd
restrictions for usage (and you may need to purchase a license depending on
what you do with it). It is however needed for php4's pdf functions and is of
use to many, so we'll keep a seperate restricted port available for those of
us who need it.
