cr actually has a capability of writing in pdf format

If you use the CR Viewer in your project, then you can use the Export button and add the appropriate dlls (from CR) to allow the
user to export to pdf file.

Try this

Dim ReportApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
   Dim ReportObject As CRAXDRT.Report
   Set ReportObject = ReportApp.OpenReport(myReport, 1)
   ReportObject.Database.LogOnServer "PDSODBC.DLL", myServer, myDatabase, myDbUserId, myDbPassword
   
   With ReportObject
      With .ExportOptions
         .DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
         .FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
         .DiskFileName = myOutputName
      End With
      .PaperSize = myPaperSize
      .PaperOrientation = myPaperOrientation
      .Export False
   End With

If you want the CR Viewer then an example is in my signature. "VB6/Crystal Report Ex"
The export is part of the viewers "Export" button. No code needed to export.
