Converting uniconvertor into a library to draw into PDFs is easy. There is 
basically a problem about not being able to import it directly, and that the 
interface is not documented anywhere.
 
I posted in their forum to see if they are interested in doing it.

by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan
