I’m looking for some cost-effective solutions and/or open source options for generating reports in Excel and PDF format. I realize some of the open source options may have less in terms of functionality and flexibility than the COTS versions with all the bells and whistles, but are there any options out there that fall somewhere in between?

EDIT:
Essentially what I’ll have are just some basic HTML reports of data in tables with some calculations/summary data but nothing fancy like graphs, etc. I’ll then need the ability to export these HTML reports to Excel and/or PDF.

    Also check out Active Reports.Net from Data Dynamics. It costs a bit more than SQL server Reporting Services, but it is easier to use, integrates directly into Visual Studio, and the output is just more IL code in your existing assembly, or another managed code IL assembly that becomes part of your solution… which is of course freely distributable and royalty free.
