Have you looked at Rich's Report Engine? He can print VFP reports to PDF without a PDF driver installed. It is very cool.
I don't know if allows you to call it from a COM DLL, but I imagine it does.
Take a look at
http://www.mindseyeinc.com/Rich came to Kansas City a few weeks ago and gave a presentation for the users group and people was fascinated with his product.

>Hi Hector. Drifting off topic slighty...Have you ever found a PDF generator that works with VFP reports that:
