Drag and drop a table control onto the report design surface. 4. Configure the table control to display the data from the table you want to export. 5. Preview the report to ensure that the data is displayed correctly. 6. Deploy the report to the SSRS server. 7. Use the SSRS report viewer to export the report to a PDF file.

Right-click on the database that contains the table you want to export and select Tasks > Export Data. 3. Follow the Export Wizard steps and select the table you want to export. 4. In the Destination section, select "Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider" as the data source and specify a file name with a .pdf extension. 5. Complete the wizard and the table data will be exported to a PDF file.

Method 3: Using SQLCMD Utility 1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where SQLCMD utility is installed. 2. Run the following command to export the table data to a CSV file:

sqlcmd -S <server_name> -d <database_name> -E -s "," -W -Q "SELECT * FROM <table_name>" -o <output_file_name>.csv

• Open the CSV file in Microsoft Excel and save it as a PDF file.
