there are many pdf reader applications that do not automatically come
with a pdf printer component, such as adobe acrobat reader, and foxit
pdf reader, so people who can read pdfs can't necessarily create them.

one thing to note is that the pdf format is a proprietary format owned
by adobe and as such attracts a fee and/or royalties for its usage (in
terms of creating pdfs rather than reading them which i believe is
free), which is why the ability to create pdf documents is not as
commonplace as one might hope.

this is why you will find that pdf writer apps and/or printer
components are usually either shareware or have plenty of advertising
pasted all over them.
