There's really no way to produce a PDF file without a printer driver.
Outputting a report to a bit map or meta files is creating and image file.
PDF's are not image files. They are editable documents. The internals of
a correctly structured PDF file are quite extensive. Leave this up to the
PDF printer driver developers.

Hi,
I am searching a solution to create PDFs from Access-Report without a
PDF-Printer.
All solutions I have found (Adobe, Ghostscript, Fineprint....) need a
installed PDF-Printer-Driver.

My Application will be installed on hundreds of different machines, so I
didn't want to get in trouble with all the administrators to install the
right driver.

It is no Problem to pay for a professional solution, but all controls I
found need a installed PDF or EPS Printer.

Perhaps Stephan Lebans way to create native EMF from SNP files is a way
(Report - EMF -PDF)?
But Stephens EMF-solution has some small restrictions :-(.

Any hints ?

Or is there somebody who writes such a tool for cash?
