This product came up in a previous thread; the following was a reply I sent to someone looking into e-mailing reports:

I found another source for PDF print drivers:

http://www.fineprint.com/index.html

The product is called: pdfFactory.

It's $39.95 for 1 license ... down to $20 for 500+.

I tried the download and it worked quite well. It even has an E-mail
option.

For "one-off" reports, the User could utilize it "as is".

For "multiple reports/destinations", we could probably control the
environment (directories; windows registry) and manage the creation of
multiple PDF files for subsequent viewing and/or E-mailing.

No SDK (yet), but it may not be necessary (as far as I can tell ... depends
on your requirements).

Probably a lot cheaper than Adobe and a lot less hastle with licensing. We
could probably tell the User to download their own copy ... if they didn't
mind the "advertisement" on the report, they could even use it for free.

It's a new product, but pretty low risk for the price and the (small) effort
required to utilize it.
