In the case of Amyuni, several restrictions apply. From their web site:

The developer license enables you to distribute a special version of the product with all your applications without paying any royalties.

By "special version", we mean a subset of the driver that has all the functionality of the full driver excluding any user interface. This special version will only work with your application. The printer which you can name as you wish (ex: MyPDFGenerator) will be visible only while your application is active.


I'm not trying to neglect the possibility. I just wahnt to make the point that PDF technology licensing is a prickly issue. Just make sure the solution you choose completely cover your needs.
