save crystal report to pdf w/o installing CR in client PC

Is it possible to directly save crystal report to pdf format without installing crystal report in client pc from C# windows form application?

I had developed windows form application year ago, which calculates certain stuff and displays report in Printable text format in crystal reports. I had written certain static text in crystal report and displays report in crystal report. Now there is certain changes in requirement. I need to display the same report in pdf format but without installing crystal report in client pc, because every pc doesn't have crystal report viewer installed, so my company want to directly export to pdf, without installing crystal report.

My report contains, Company Logo, Some forms texts, and the dynamic data which are calculated from windows form application.

Hi,

Actually I am confused a little bit. If you are creating a window project for client, So you have to create window project setup and in this setup you can use crystal report setup. Cause without installing client side crystal report setup, you can't use report.

And for your 2nd question, yes you can save crystal report in pdf format.

sample code:

string jobid = Session["jobid"].ToString();

Class.ds1.WriteXmlSchema(Server.MapPath("~/CR/Private.xml"));

ReportDocument crt = new ReportDocument();

crt.Load(Server.MapPath("~/CR/PrivateReport.rpt"));

crt.SetDataSource(Class.ds1);

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crt;

CrystalReportViewer1.RefreshReport();

crt.ExportToHttpResponse

(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, true, "Private Inspection Report of - " + jobid + " ");

kindly use highlighted lines accordingly.
