What about generating some other image format? It does seem more
likely that the host OS will be able to handle, say GIF, than
PDF. In particular, Windows probably comes able to print GIF out of
the box, but not PDF. Then again, when I use Windows acrobat reader
gets installed fairly early, so I may have overlooked it.
