Librairies for export PDF are old

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For the PDF export, you use "core-renderer-R8pre1" and "itext-paulo-155"
(and "tagsoup-1.1.3").
The problem is that "itext-paulo-155" is very old (last release in 2005)
and he is not compatible with recent version of iText (use by JasperRepport
for example).

JMesa doesn't use directly "itext-paulo-155", but "core-renderer-R8pre1"
does. So the change will probably affect an important part of the PDF export.

Does the PDF export still work with the upgraded jar files? I should update the 
jar
files for sure...

Actually it's work. The ask is an enhancement.

iText-paulo-155 is based on iText version 1.
Using itext-paulo-155 or iText V1 or the two at the same time works fine.
But if we need iText V2, we can't use itext-paulo-155 or iText V1 (some 
functions
have different names in the same file), so PDF export doesn't work.

We are also having issues with the PDF export out of the box.  Even downgrading 
to
itext-1.4.8.jar does not appear to resolve the issue with the charBox "method 
not
found" exception.

Make sure that you do not have more than one jar file on your classpath. Also, 
you
could try switching to the PDFP view...it is simpler looking, but seems to work 
a
little better.
