There's no native support for writing .pdf's in dotnet. You can use Crystal
or third party tool of choice, you could write a print driver (which would
be a pain) but natively, no there's not a way that I know of.

The Adobe PDF specification is public. You can get it from Adobe
here:

Note that the specification is *very* large (1,172 pages).

Hope this helps.
