It is very easy to generate PDF documents that contain font reports. You need to have a virtual printer driver installed that creates PDF files instead of printed output. There are numerous products that can do this, for example [pdf995](http://www.pdf995.com/) and [pdfFactory](http://www.fineprint.com/). Now within MainType print a font report, and make sure you have selected the virtual printer driver that creates a PDF file.

_Note: Printing to a virtual printer can cause problems due to bugs in the virtual printer driver. Also printing inactive fonts through a virtual printer that doesn’t embed fonts will most likely fail. Updating the driver might help._
