UIComponent hand-drawn flash / flex export method to vector print file

Question

I am creating a flex application in which I use the integrated flex 3 graphics package to draw shapes and things in UIComponent. I want to be able to export this UIComponent vector image to a vector file, pdf, eps, etc. Are there any tools, libraries, or methods for doing this?

I looked at AlivePDF, which works very smoothly, but its output is a snapshot of the UIComponent that appears as a bitmap in a PDF. I want the true vector output, since this is an image for printing, to be able to scale and correct colors.

I read somewhere that this is possible with the Adobe Live Cycle, but looking at the documentation, I'm not sure how to use it.

Another possibility is to submit the final image parameters to a server-side PHP script that will generate the image in SVG format. But, as I understand it, SVG is not suitable for printing, and this is a lot of additional work.

Any thoughts, ideas, methods? Thank!

For others, I ended up using livePDF. It works great.
