It will never have PDF output since you can use Rasterbator for that. The reason is that you don't have control of the printing area with PDF. Dotamatic asks the driver what the margins are which are specific to the printer model. For example some can print very close to the edges of the paper, but not the top or bottom. With PDF you just have to take a guess and can have cropping by the driver, distortion in order to scale it, or wasted space. I’m the author of Dotamatic.
