I did not get that as well.

Windows does not have PDF generation, its support has been recently introduced in Windows 10.

So most likely it was a third party library.

EDIT: It was actually introduced in Windows 10, not 8.

Where's the Win8 PDF generation? I can't find it on MSDN. Unless we're talking about GDI print -> target "print to PDF"?

I was wrong. Actually it was only introduced in Windows 10.

OP was most likely using Windows 7 or earlier, from what I could understand.
