<u><b>Solution (2) :</b></u>

If your computer has installed <span style='color:red'>Microsoft Print to PDF</span> or <span style='color:red'>CutePDF Software</span>, you don’t need to do report design.  Just click on <span style='color:red'>Print</span>, then choose <span style='color:red'>Microsoft Print to PDF</span> or <span style='color:red'>CutePDF</span> and click on <span style='color:red'>Print</span> and select the path to save.
