>PMFI, but I must be going nuts. It seems like there was a PDF printer driver available a while ago for low cost (30 bucks, I think). But I can't find the reference anymore :-( Anybody else remember this?

It's definitely not the one from Adobe, but maybe a third party made one?
Don't really understand what the big deal is. If you're building server
applications $200 can hardly be a big deal for something as useful as
a PDF driver if you really need it.

Looks like Ghostscript might be an option. Haven't had the time to look at
it yet, but if it works that sounds like a good way to go.

FWIW, if you use PDF files PDFWriter is a pretty decent tool. It really does
a nice job with the output. What sucks is the 'programmer' interface which
is controlled via an INI file which doesn't scale at all (hence the wwPDF
class wrapper to synchronize access to the driver and manage the file
naming and placement). It's sad to see Adobe put out such a useful driver
and then offer no decent way to take advantage of it.
