PDF creation with runtimes?

Does anyone know if PDF creation can be done in a runtime?

It seems runtimes will not allow PDF creation - but I was curious if anyone has any workarounds?

I am currently using a free PDF printer tool where I print to that printer object and it creates it - however if I distribute my FM application via runtime, I would like to not have to have the users go download or install that second piece - I would like to just have a CREATE PDF button like is possible in native FMP.

Any ideas?

Sorry, no PDF in runtimes. Your Mac clients will have the OS print to PDF if you show the print dialog, but Win clients will need a pdf writer (as you've concluded).
