It doesn't have to be a PDF, it could be an image file, or even a text file...maybe I can just make a text file of the output and use box characters to draw the tree. It seems like I should be able to get the branches of the treedata somehow and just do a writeln to a file with the right formatting.

I have added a text rendering of the tree, it's saved in a text file Result.txt.

The rendering code is in unit uFileVirtualTree, function ThVirtualStringTree.render_as_text. It's called  in ufFileVirtualTree in procedure TfFileVirtualTree.bGetCheckedClick:
     m.Lines .Text:= slResult.Text+#13#10+hvstResult.render_as_text;
     m.Lines .SaveToFile('Result.txt');

In function ThVirtualStringTree.render_as_text I used 3 constants for the chars used for drawing the tree outline:
           vertical_line_char='|';
           horizontal_line_char='-';
           angle_char='*';
           crossing_char='L';
You can tune this to your needs.

I have added to a rendering as numbered list in an odt file, the text file format for Libre Office and Open Office. The "template" FileTree.odt is duplicated with a temp name in the user temp directory, and opened in the software register in windows for opening odt files by the function OpenDocument() of Lazarus. Depending on your installation it can be open in Libre Office/OpenOffice or in MS Word (sometimes the rendering is not perfect in Word).

Before recompiling the project, you will need to open first in Lazarus the package pascal_o_r_mapping\02_Units\OD_DelphiReportEngine_Units.lpk in order to make Lazarus know where it is. If for some reason you can't load this package, you can remove it from the dependency  panel of the project inspector, and in unit ufFileVirtualTree, comment out in the use clause the unit uFileVirtualTree_odt, and comment out in procedure TfFileVirtualTree.bGetCheckedClick the line:
     OpenDocument( FileVirtualTree_odt( 'FileTree.odt', hvstResult));

I've considered making a screenshot of virtual tree component but if the whole opened tree doesn't fit in the screen it will not work.
