Creating a PDF from within application

C

CD Tom

I have the Adobe Acrobat program and am able to create the PDF from reports
by just printing them to the Acrpbat distiller printer. I would like to be
able to have my program that I distribute be able to create a PDF by just
clicking a button. I know not everybody has the Adobe Acrobat program so I'm
wondering if there is a freeware program that I can distribute along with my
program and that I can incorporate into my application.
Thanks for any help,
Tom

I hope I'm not sounding dumb but I didn't find the Ghostwriter on the cutepdf
web site. I did find a free program that will convert to pdf. Now that I
have that how do I incorporate that into my program.

The free versions of both of them (Ghostwriter is called the converter here)
are at:

Just install them and print to the CutePDF printer. The one drawback I found
to CutePDF (but there are newer versions so it may no longer be true) is
that it had to be installed to the C:\ drive. As a developer, I have
Operating Systems that are not on C:\.
