I'm not sure if this helps but I use dsPdf.dll ( http://delphistep.cis.si/ ) with DelphiArea's print preview component ( http://www.delphiarea.com/products/preview/ ). dsPdf.dll is postcard ware. The dll allows for saving a metafile as pdf. Printing a metafile directly from the application doesn't require any pdf functionality.
