I haven't, but you could take a look at

GhostScript

(www.ghostscript.com);
they have APIs for Perl, and the code is under GNU

should be
possible.

Or PDFlib http://www.pdflib.com/ for a commercial
product. However, either PDFlib or Ghostscript would require a lot of
scripting and possibly of creating externals. Not the same as just
"print to pdf" like you can do on OS X.

Another way to approach it would be to make your
customers on Windows to buy Adobe Acrobat, then they will have the PDF
Writer printer driver, and they can print anything to pdf.

Another way to do this without forcing your customers
to buy an entire Acrobat, is to install PrintToPDF on
their machines if it's a Mac, or Win2PDF if it's a
Windows box.
Those 'printer drivers' should suffice for most
purposes.

Win2PDF:

Hope this helped,

There is also ps2pdf, which needs to be compiled in ghostscript (mentioned previously by Ken Ray). Have a look at:
