4 months ago I tried all PDF generating components from torry.net.

I found only two components that can be theoretically used with RichView:

wPDF and llPDFLib (http://www.llion.net).

Formal requirements are simple: they must have a canvas (inherited and

compatible with TCanvas) which converts drawing commands to PDF.

wPDF passed my test (except from Unicode and some not so important things),

but llPDFLib failed: it allows to draw onto its canvas, but raises exception

when saving PDF.

But the latter is developed (it also looks like its prices were raised) , so

may be newer versions are better. Probably, I'll return to it later.
