If you can automate printing the report from your application you could try using CutePDF Writer to export the results to a file.

Hi Mudassir,

CutPDF and PrimoPDF are freewares available on the net.
Download them, and nstall, They Install in your system as a new "Printer".
So, Make this Printer as the Default Printer ,
Whatever you print, say you print a WordDoc,
The word doc is converted to PDF, and it will allow you to save the PDF converted..
and this applies to all printable windows like Crystalreport, datareport, Notepad..excel. .

Hi muddasirmunir,

By automate, I mean starting the printing process, selecting the CutePDF printer and entering the output file all without user intervention. In some cases you can do this using (COM) objects in your code, and sometimes you'll need to automate the mouse/keyboard input.

Good luck!
