Print to PDF File
Hi,
I am using D6 with ReportBuilder, and want to be able to print my reports to PDF files.
Is there a FREE component that will create PDF documents via ReportBuilder or QuickReports or whatever else can be used in Delphi ?
OR what is the best Software to BUY (about $100 - $200AUS) that will allow the Component to be Built in to any app developed and does not need additional licenses when deployed.
Thanks

LLRTF2PDF(Name of the Component) -- command line utility to convert .rtf and .txt files to pdf files.
Download from : http://www.llion.net/llRTF2PDF/
So after u print your report through report builder to a file either in Text format or RTF format, send that file name to this utility from ur code..some thing like..
sCmd := 'llRTF2PDF.EXE '+sReportFileName;
if FileExec(sCmd,True,True) then (to execute)
WinExec(Pchar(sCmd), SW_SHOWNORMAL); (to open the file)
You can use it as free using evalution version. Or
Price:
Single license (home use) 12 USD
Site license 120 USD
Have a nice time.

This solution is only available to members.

Take a look for a little different approach. Win2PDF-program that works as a printer and you can use it with any programs.
I haven't found any well working FREE components / programs, but this has been ok so far.

Search for "truetype"
The listed components include PDF exporters.
Good luck
