You could get the user to purchase a pdf print driver such as: http://www.software602.com/products/printpack/
(US$19.95) Or another way is to use a pdf component such as: http://www.est.hi-ho.ne.jp/takeshi_kanno/powerpdf/ (free) and somehow draw the quickreport onto the powerpdf canvas. I have seen something similar done with wPDF and FastReport. (Both commercial products).
