As far as PDF is concerned ... I've had good success with using
postscript and then distilling to PDF with ghostscript (there is a
very easy way to do transparency as well). Then you don't really need
a binding - the ability to output to text files is enough.

I'm afraid not [1]. I'm not sure this has changed since PDFLib 5, which
is what I used in lpdf. I usually make a point to bind to free software only.

Nice, thanks for pointing this out. It looks similar to PDFLib and so it
should be easy to write a Lua binding for it.
