There is a project on Sourceforge which provides a utility for generating 
PDF files from any application in Windows - it installs as a printer 
driver - goto :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

The software was written using Visual Basic and is released under the 
GPL.

Source code is also available at :

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57796

If you can print it in Windows - you can make a PDF of it using 
PDFCreator.

Once it is installed it also can be shared over a network of Windows 
computers - but I cannot verify if it will handle spooling or print jobs 
from Linux boxes on the same network.

If you get somone to look at the source code - then maybe writing a patch 
for it could solve the problem - I hope.
