Are you exporting (generating PDF) at run-time without seeing the report? I guess question is do you see data on the report? I suggest you first generate report in the Form and try to see data there.

There is no built-in feature of merging PDF files in C#. What you need is get data from database in a DataSet (two DataTables) and create two different sections of a single report. In that way you are generating a single report.

Naim if you want to keep both together with the least amount of work I would say to try to create another Crystal Report as a container and add both report as subreports. If you want to merge the files you can use a free library like iTextSharp and you can find a good merge code at http://alex.buayacorp.com/merge-pdf-files-with-itext-and-net.html . iTextSharp could be set up using byte arrays filepath or streams so you shouldn't have a problem there.
