Hi Max!
RB native printing to PDF files started with version 10, as far as I
remember.
You should use a tool like ExtraDevices from Waler for this in version 9.
Kind regards
TorB.

Hi Max,

For ReportBuilder 9 it was required that you add ppPDFDevice to your uses
clause to register the device at runtime. Take a look at the TppPDFDevice
topic in the ReportBuilder help for a code example. Since you are using a
trial version, I would recommend downloading a trial of RB 10.02 and taking
a look at some of the enhancements made.
