The ReportDesigner's sole role is to visually design report format files (the layout of a report). These are xml format saved with a .rfxml extension. The ReportWriter's role is to take a .rfxml format file and a data cursor, and output a PDF. The PDF can be a file or a file-like object (such as a StringIO). What you do with that PDF (preview it, print it, email it, display it in a web page, etc.) is up to you and outside the scope of either ReportWriter or ReportDesigner. So, the simple answer is that this is a non-issue with Dabo's reporting stuff. But, it could be an issue if you go to print the PDF, but I seriously doubt it. You aren't going to send a PDF file to a PDF printer, you are going to send it to a real printer.
