I think this would be AWESOME! You would certianly not want a vendor to change anything, or say they got anything different. Though they could with Acrobat, it is just too easy with a regular email. Since AC7 already uses ComponentOne plugins, why not just add the "ComponentOne PDF™ for .NET" to the aresenal? I think it would be awesome. Also would be kinda cool if there was an option to add a button on each item page that said something like "Download Product PDF" and they could download it for printing or saving on their computer to look at later, or forwarding within the company. Though the wishlist and tell a friend are great, the PDF is def. a more professional "Big Business" approach. Any others agree?

My new Shipper 3.0 product (currently in beta) can do this.

I use the abcPDF .Net user control to generate certain AC7 output into PDF files. It really slick to use from a programming standpoint. You can find it at http://www.abcpdf.com

Also the ActiveReports.Net 3.0 product supports PDF as an output format for your own custom reporting.
