We would prefer to not use a server-based solution. We are looking for a component that we can link into our SWF, and that would contain all we need to generate a PDF from our app. It's a graphics app, doesn't fit into the LiveCycle paradigm, which seems to be restricted to business forms, text, 'rules' (horizontal & vertical lines).
We are developing our SWF using Adobe Flex Builder, MXML, ActionScript, etc. Right now it's seriously looking like we are going to have to write the PDF from scratch. Thank you.
