Googe search is an amazing tool, its first response to that warning was this SAS technical note:

http://support.sas.com/kb/31/619.html

 

So close listing destination.

Maxim 6: Google is your friend.

A search for "WARNING: Unsupported device 'ACTIVEX' for PDF destination. Using device 'ACTXIMG'." will get you lots of information about this WARNING, and that it can be safely ignored.

If you want to prevent it (eg because you don't want WARNINGs in a batch job), follow the second result of the above search to find that

goptions device=ACTXIMG;

will do that (issue it right before ODS PDF).
