If I were to include PDF generation into an IDL program, I would create
a PS file and spawn a "ps2pdf" call. In any case, it would require the
user to have an external program installed and configured properly, GS
or a PDF printer doesn't matter I think.
Of course it would be nice though if IDL had PDF generation built in.
Considering how important PDF became in the last few years, one would
expect it anyway ...
