Do there exist routines to save a document as a PDF file?

I know there are pseudo-printers around which you can install so that when
you 'print' to it it produces a PDF file, but I had in mind library code
that would give you a CDC or hDC, let you draw on it, and then deposit the
result in a PDF file. Does such exist?

MFC doesnt have anything builtin for this. I have heard of people
using pdflib but its not free:

Thanks. I've bookmarked it, but unfortunately it looks expensive and either
it's just me or the terms of the licence are far from clear :-(

I also came across this one: http://www.novapdf.com/

I have no idea how good it is (trial is free) but its considerably
cheaper ($50) than pdflib. Worth a look.

It seems there are several open-source PDF libraries, that you may adapt to
the context of Win32/MFC.

For example, OpenOffice (an open-source kind of clone of Office 2003) can
save as PDF - you could consider its code.

There is also another open-source Python library called ReportLab:
