use reporting services, its not just let you print the document in A4 format but also gives you the option to save it as word , excel or even pdf

its look like i need a reporting tool to solve this problem..btw, "Vinay13mar" ...just to confirm one thing...
if i use Crystal report..is there additional license or charge to use that tools ..? (this is my first time using crystal report if i choose that tools, sorry for noob question) ..
and one more question..the crystal report is it allow me to use DataList or GridView ..?
any free tools or option to make this done..please advise me..
You must first decide between the reporting and document generation which are two different things. Reporting is about creating reports where you mostly have a header, footer and lists. Documents on the other side employ word-processing concepts like paragraphs,
tables, pages, rich formatting and styles. as an example of what I think: would you create a complex contract by using crystal reports?
In case you would like to do document generation take a look at
http://docentric.com. It is a high end document generation toolkit, but no, it's not for free.
