<p>I am looking for a redistributable component to convert HTML to PDF.</p>

<p>I would - at the moment - like to avoid using a "PDF printer", as this requires a printer installation and some user "playing around" in the printers panel might break that feature.</p>

<p>The HTML is available in a Browser control or as external file. The HTML is normally fairly simple, but customers can create their own templates, so a "good range" of HTML should be supported.</p>

<p>Should be accessible for an automated process from C++ - DLL / COM / external executable with command line support are all fine. </p>

<p>Commercial is fine, but in the thousands is not an option right now.</p>

<p>So, which components do you know or can you recommend?</p>
