We use AnzioWin and print a number of our reports directly to PDF.  We run filePro on Linux and the PDF's are saved to the users home directory on a Windows file share.  Most of our users are running AnzioWin on the corporate network, but for our remote users they login to AnzioWin running on Citrix XenApp and they have access to their home directory on the Windows file share through XenApp.
