PDF not generated on a fresh installed Windows

What are the system requirements for creation of a PDF file?
I'm asking this because I've seen that on a fresh installed Windows 7 x64 my application does not generating the pdf file.

On my developer computer the application work properly and it's generating well the pdf files.
In order to see if is required to have Adobe Reader, I even uninstall this application and still working.

Perhaps it expects at least one printer to be defined.

I just installed a printer... some drivers offered by windows and is still doesn't work.
Physically this printer desn't exist, just some drivers.

Could it be this Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable or maybe Microsoft .Net Framework?

There is no dependency.
Try to install a virtual printer (pdf writer e.g.).

Re: PDF not generated on a fresh installed Windows

It's working also on a fresh system. It seems that it was a problem with access to the folder where the report was created.

I just generate a simple PDF file now, I save it in `temp` folder and it's working. It's working also without a printer installed.

Thanks!
