Or PDFlib http://www.pdflib.com/ for a commercial product. However, 
either PDFlib or Ghostscript would require a lot of scripting and 
possibly of creating externals. Not the same as just "print to pdf" 
like you can do on OS X.

Another way to approach it would be to make your customers on Windows 
to buy Adobe Acrobat, then they will have the PDF Writer printer 
driver, and they can print anything to pdf.
