PNG "printing" support is not built in. Abi can,
however, output PS/PDF pretty trivially right now from
the command line:
abiword --print=file.ps file.abw
ps2pdf file.ps
Of course, you could do something more sophisticated
if we were all using GnomePrint. Abi supports the
GnomePrint Bonobo interface. If you were to pass in a
blank GnomePrintContext, you'd probably get out a nice
PS/PDF/RGBA version of the document. Mind you, no-one
has tested this in a while, since no-one knew where to
house the GnomePrint Bonobo bits (In Bonobo? Nah, it
doesn't depend on GnomePrint. In GnomePrint? Nah, it
doesn't depend on any Gnome bits, let alone Bonobo).
GnomePrint also has a RGBA/libart backend, which you
could then translate into PNG/JPEG/whatever using
gdk_pixbuf_save ().
Hope this helps some,
Dom
