20. Flash and PDF for printing
Why client side ?
You can generate PDF’s 100% client side since ActionScript 2
ActionScript 3 (ByteArray) allows us to generate richer PDF’s (images, sounds,
SWF, etc.)
AlivePDF (alivepdf.bytearray.org) is an open-source (MIT licence) library which
allows you to do that.

21. Generate a PDF in 3 lines of code
import org.alivepdf.pdf.PDF;
//create a PDF object
var myPDF:PDF = new PDF();
// add a blank page
myPDF.addPage();
// save the PDF on user’s disk through a save-as dialog window
myFileReference.save ( myPDF.save ( Method.LOCAL ), “generated.pdf” );

myPDF.addImage( this, r );
