How should the feature work?
PDFAttributedText currently only accepts NSAttributedStrings. Swift's current bridging from AttributedString to NSAttributedString supports NSFont and NSColor, etc., but also supports SwiftUI's Font and Color. These attributes are currently ignored by TPPDF.
PDFAttributedText(text: NSAttributedString) could have a cousin PDFAttributedText(text: AttributedString) that understands the newer Color and Font attributes.
What should it look like?
let document = PDFDocument(format: .usLettter)
var swiftyAttributedText = AttributedString("My Swifty string")
swiftyAttributedText.font = Font.bold
swiftyAttributedText.foregroundColor = Color.blue
document.add(attributedText: swiftyAttributedText)
...
output PDF has blue bold text "My Swifty string"
What happened instead?
Instead, when converting a Swift AttributedString to NSAttributedString, the newer formatting is ignored. Only if NSFont and NSColor attributes are supplied to AttributedString does converting to NSAttributedString result in the expected formatting in the final PDF. Furthermore, NSAttributedString does not conform to Sendable (and likely won't), while AttributedString does. This will be an error in Swift 6.
