Susan,

>>IMO Crystal Reports is not quite suitable for your situation, though it is the only report generator that can acceptable convert the report to various formats (note PDF is not one of them, might be different in CR 8.0). For end-users to be able to create their own reports, they must have a license per user. It's not that easy to create reports in CR, so your users must really learn how to do this.

>You can send reports from CR 6.0 and 7.0 to PDF format very easily. You just have to have Adobe Acrobat Writer installed on the machine that wants to do so and set the default printer to it. That is not a function needed inside of CR.

You're right, I ment to say that you cannot convert them into PDF format in a CR only solution, You've got to have the PDF writer installed. But the $ is one of the things that still holds me from purchasing this tool.
