VS2005 Express PDF File Creation for web

I am converting from Visual Studio 2003 where I used crystal reports to generate a pdf file to be displayed in the web browser. I just noticed that the VS2005 express version does not include crystal reports. Is there an alternative way to generate the pdf files or am I stuck going ahead and getting the professional version.

Thanks,

Colelaus

    I have never used it, but won't this work if all you want is to display formatted data with a web browser

    There are projects on sourceforge that generate pdfs, and commercial products that do it, also.

    sourceforge.net, it's a place for open source projects.

    What is sourceforge... as in www.sourceforge.com I'm not familiar with this.

    BTW... thanks for the quick reply!
