Do we need to distribute the print-driver executable with our application?
We are going to install PDF-XChange printer only on customer PCs and use it to convert our metafile reports into PDFs. In this case we only need distributable files for the printer. We bought PDF-XCHANGE SDK PRO package. I downloaded the respective .zip from you website and expected to find a separate subset of distributable files there, which wasn't the case.

Is there any other simpler way to install the printer at end user system?
