The examples are in VB, but (don't remember for sure, it's been months since I did this), the process is quite straightforward, and you just get a COM object that you use - set its properties and call its methods. There's one snag in version 2.1, that you have to call some PrinterEnable() or such method, passing your license key as a parameter, pretty much anytime you want to create a pdf file. Or you can have user license instead, but then the user has to go through some setup to do that once per machine.

Other than that, the only trouble I had was when I tried to print credit card sized labels, without setting the "paper" size for Amyuni to some custom size, so it (in the role of a printer driver) complained about something being unable to fit the page.
