Windows 10 has a built in Microsoft PDF driver that works well. For anything before you'll need something else.

Ghostscript is also an option and you can dump to Postscript with a PS driver, and then convert with Ghostscript, but it has problems with some content, especially certain kinds of images.

If you really want to do this right I suggest using XFRX or one of the reporting tools that output to PDF. XFRX doesn't rely on the printer spooler and is considerably faster.

    - provide a PDF printer driver for pre-Win10,

>Starting version 10 Foxit removed said printer driver and IIRC create PDF option, so I stayed with my workhorse on 9.7.2, which I had upgraded to as below that version a serious bug might compromise machine via PDF with virus/ransom attack included. Foxit only has obvious links to versions 10 and 11 on downloads (as far as I see... can be blind on web sites sometimes)
