I believe you're referring to PIL and reportlab in python. In ruby I think of PDF::Writer and RMAgick. It seem that PDF::Writer has not been updated in the last months, but probably the author would support you if you need to fix xomething, I believe he's just been distracted from other projects :) About imaging: I believe rmagick is quite updated and mature, ain't it ?
