creating pdfs

Hi there I was hoping for some advice on the best way to proceed.

I have an asp.net 2 application. I want to create a pdf based on
information entered by the user (the info is stored in a SQL Server
database). The final pdf will be always be displayed in the same
format, up to 9 or 10 pages long, but with lots of sub tables showing
info the user has entered.

I want to be able to present this pdf to the user on request, and also
allow it to be stored in the database and viewed at a later date.

I'd be really grateful if anyone could offer some suggestions about
different routes I could take with this. Thanks.

Crystal Report can also export to pdf file (or stream).
