## Export to PDF

The 'Print to file' option is available in the print dialog, without the need for extra implementation. However, it is sometimes useful to generate a pdf file directly from code. For instance,

    Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::PrintOperation> op = Gtk::PrintOperation::create();
    // ...set up op...
    op->set_export_filename("test.pdf");
    Gtk::PrintOperationResult res = op->run(Gtk::PRINT_OPERATION_ACTION_EXPORT);
