            CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = pdfFile;
            CrExportOptions = ReportDocument .ExportOptions;//Report document object has to be given here
            CrExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
            CrExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
            CrExportOptions.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions;

Does the ReportDocument is static class if not you have to create instance for that. private void ExportToDisk ( string fileName) { ExportOptions exportOpts = new ExportOptions(); DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOpts = ExportOptions.CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions(); exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.RichText; exportOpts.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile; diskOpts.DiskFileName = fileName; exportOpts.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOpts; Report.Export(exportOpts); }
