How to save output of any powershell script in pdf format using powershell?

Question

Instead of:

Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Force | ConvertTo-Html -Body "<H2>C Drive Details</H2>" >> $OutFile

I want the output in pdf format not html

As far as I know there's no native PDF handling in Powershell. I've used a third-party library like PdfSharp before (Hello World example) It's not as simple as just sending output to a 'PDF Printer' though. — henrycarteruk

If you go to this website http://www.powertheshell.com/modules/

You can download the PDFTools module and extract the contents to your modules path and then Import-Module PDFTools, this will give you a new command Out-PTSPDF which you can pass your results to.

@JamesC is right there is no "native" way to complete this.
