Not completely true ;-)
Indeed. As mentioned I have also received descriptions of what the LibreOffice
folks do.
In order to import pdf files they subclass OutputDev to 'paint' into a custom
internal
format they have. I'll dig out the details on request.

I agree with "Not completely true".
In the past, OpenPrinting consortium members had asked about the usage
of APIs in non public headers, to make yet another OutputDev, as the
lo-end printers by Japanese companies (note: some lo-end inkjet printers
want to interact with the host machines, so, making a fixed printer data
by PS or PDF are not sufficient).
I remember, the reply was something like "you should use cpp-interface".
But the coverage of cpp interface is too small to implement yet another
OutputDev.
