UPDATE DECEMBER 2008 : blazePDF is FREE!
In January 2008, development on blazePDF ended due to lack of time to devote to the project. Since that time, the component was still available for purchase. Due to the discontinuation of Amazon.com's Honor System payment system, I have now decided that time is right for the component to be released free to the world. It has proven itself time and time again, so I know that it is still a useful product. I hope that you'll find it helpful!
As it is now a free product, and I really truly don't have any time to put into it, I also will have no time to give to support. Installation of the component will install a full help system into the Flash IDE — including many code samples — that should get you going.
Thanks for the years of support.
Cheers

The blazePDF component is a PDF generating component for Macromedia Flash™. The component allows developers to create PDF documents at run-time using simple drawing API methods without the need for installation of plug-ins, print drivers, or other third-party software.
Version 2.0 of the blazePDF Standard component is now available. Version 2.0 adds embedding on-stage and in-library MovieClips as bitmaps in the PDF, UI enhancements to the component, and other functionality enhancements. Additional existing functionality includes embedding pre-processed external JPEG images, variable transparency for text, graphics, and images, and several additions to the built-in drawing API to accomodate easier graphic creation.
