By "this viewer" do you mean the GhostScript viewer?  Surely if two PDF 
readers open the file there could be no questions from your vendor.

(Assuming you have AX 2.5 ...) If you have a PostScript printer driver 
installed in your Windows environment and you use that printer from AX, the 
output file is a PostScript file.  You can use the free GhostScript 
distiller to create a PDF file from the PostScript file, without using the 
AX PDF driver.  This is how I publish the XSL books that I sell from my web 
site.

On a related note, I have the Adobe PostScript printer driver installed in 
my Windows XP environment ... is anyone on this list aware of a freely 
available or affordable PostScript printer driver independent of having to 
buy the Adobe product?

Thanks!
