WRITE_PNG and READ_PNG were introduced in IDL 5.2.

The ImageMagick 'convert' utility does an decent job of converting
Postscript to PDF, even though it converts vector output to bitmap
output.

Does anyone else see a need for PDF graphics output in IDL? What would I
do with a single page of PDF graphics? Can I insert it into a document
(as I would with Postscript)?

Cheers,
Liam.
