Export illustrations from Blender's GreasePencil to Adobe PDF compatible files

Blender is currently developing a function for Grease Pencil objects to be exported from the File menu into PDF format. Here's a capture for the initial test in the separate Grease Pencil branch that the Grease Pencil developer team has:

I reached out to Antonio, one of the GP developers to ask for his help with this file from the Fixy storyboard I was doing at the moment, to convert it to PDF.

The results are nothing short of astonishing, specially considering this opens up new possibilities to create Vector maps (city maps), Press-ready documents, Comics, Interactive motion graphic elements (think Swift 3D for 2021!) and every other flash/vector graphic compatible software application there is out there.

The Blender Grease Pencil branch is working in an even better (performance and optimization wise) exporter at the moment, so you can get the best experience once it is officially implemented into the main Blender developer branch.

I am already profiling a Fixy comic book, so expect more news about this new feature in Blender here in the Blog.

Let me know how else do you think this feature would be useful?
