You can export a crystal report to PDF quite easily. I posted some code a
few minutes ago.

I haven't used it but there is an open source .Net PDF generator that might
be worth checking out:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdflibrary/

For the moment i use the ABCPDF COM Library, and it is easy to generate a
pdf file with .NET code.

You have to put one by one the elements on the page, but it is as easy as
drawing.

go check : http://www.websupergoo.com

You may want to check TallPDF.NET at:

www.tallcomponents.com

TallPDF.NET is a 100% managed component that lets you generate PDF documents
either programatically or from XML. It does not depend on any 3rd party
product. It exposes an object model that consists of classes like paragraph,
section, column, table, etc. It streams directly to the browser.
Downloadable evaluation version available.

Also, there's an open source project on www.sourceforge.net to implement
PDF in .NET completely.

Last time I checked they were very far along, it's worth a check.

Go there and search for PDF .NET and you should find it.

Have a look at www.xmlpdf.com.

We ship a .NET library for creating PDF files starting from an XML template.
The library is written in C#, and call be called from VB6/ASP or any .NET
language. We also ship a Java version.

We use a simple HTML-like syntax, so you can create an PDF from XML like
this:

<document><block>Hello world</block></document>

We support merging data in from XML or directly from C# objects. For
instance if you have a Customer object which supports a property called
Name, you can put the name into the PDF like this:

<document><block>Hello <merge
method='customer.name'/></block></document>

We support all the usual PDF features including nested tables, pagination,
TrueType fonts etc. etc.

Have a look.
