Does Crystal Reports come with a command line utility for executing reports or would we have to write our own?
What we want to be able to do is automatically run a report overnight via a SQL Agent Job (in SQL Server 2000/2005) and save the results in a PDF file. Although I'm sure there are other ways to schedule automatic reports, it has to be via a SQL Agent job for our purposes.

Crystal Reports doesn't have a command line utility for running reports. I Googled it and it looks like there are various tools to do this (or you could easily write your own). I haven't used any so I can't recommend anything.
