Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

thanks for the reply i think you did not understand what i want.... well i have to reports form one is Salary and second is Annexure when i click annexure button than annexure form comes the problem is that when i click on export button it should be export  both data data into PDF file ... but its not exporting....

Answer 3

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.
