You have to buy a PDF library, or find a free one that does what you want. I'm not sure how you'd integrate it with crystal reports.

Depending on your version of crystal reports, crystal reports has an export to PDF method.

Dim crExportOptions As ExportOptions
Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions As DiskFileDestinationOptions
Dim ExportPath As String = IO.Path.Combine(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData, attachmentName & ".pdf")
' Set the path for the exported report
crDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions
crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = ExportPath

    ' Set the options to export the report to PDF format 
    crExportOptions = rpt.ExportOptions
    With crExportOptions
        .DestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOptions
        .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
        .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
    End With

    ' Export the report 
    rpt.Export()

with rpt being your crystal report. (code is in vb.net but I'm sure you can convert that)

I've seen PDFSharp[^] recommended several times although I've never used it myself. If you don't mind creating a file first then you can use one of the numerous PDF print drivers out there - I use Bullzip[^].

If I'm not mistaken pdf export can be done using the Crystal reports object model. You don't need additional software for that.
