exporting graphs programmatically to pdf

[id]

Is there a way to programmatically automate fully the exporting of a waveform graph to a pdf file using the Labview 2010 Professional Dev System package?

I saw four possibilities:

(with LabView Report Generation Toolkit)

1) Automatic Creation of a PDF file from Standard Report (NI Developer Community - probably the easier method);

(without LabView Report Generation Toolkit)

2) PDF Toolkit for LabVIEW - Carya Automatisering (evaluation version);

3) Simplicity AI LabVIEW PDF Toolkit (free);

4) PDF Report with ItextSharp (NI Developer Community);

If all you need to do is create a PDF from a front panel, another option would be to install a PDF creator which looks like a printer driver (such as this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ ) and then call the Print.Panel to Printer method using VI Server.
