Native support of PDF was added in version 4.2. There is a required DLL that must be installed in the same folder as BR.

PDFLIB.DLL

It can be downloaded from the FTP site.

I believe 4.3 uses a different DLL PDFLIB2.DLL.

I can get BR 4.0 and 4.1 to print to a PDF file using a short AutoIt Script I wrote and an external utility. (More details on using AutoIT to do all sorts of things will be presented at the conference.)

But in order to make decent looking printouts, you need at least BR 4.1.

Best option is the native support in BR 4.2. Then you have a solid solution that you know will be supported in the future, rather then a hack.
