Feature request: generate PDFs from .quill files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a feature request to provide a script to generate PDFs (or SVGs) from 
.quill files.

I quite enjoy Quill on my Thinkpad Tablet. I backup my .quill files to my 
owncloud instance, which is then mirrored on my desktop and laptop. I'd like to 
view my Quill notes on my other devices, but I only have the .quill files. What 
I'd like is to have a script that takes the .quill file and turns it into a PDF 
or SVG for viewing on my laptop, so that I can integrate it into my other 
note-taking systems (personal wiki, etc.).

I could of course manually generate the PDFs on my Android device, but what I'd 
like is to be able to run a script on my laptop to generate the PDFs whenever a 
new or updated .quill file is found.

I've looked around the source a bit, but wasn't able to easily find the file 
format. This is something I might be able to write myself if I had a 
documentation of the file format.

Thanks!

I too have been wanting something like this and decided to write up a simple 
python script to parse Quill files into SVGs. It's available on github under 
"quill_utils":

There's a lot that needs to be fixed but this should be a good start.

Excellent work! I've forked it at github :-)

I've added initial PDF support, though only one pdf file per page for now.
