Hi,
You can create the Report directly in PDF by setting some of the Report Parameters
i.e. DESTYPE, DESNAME AND DESFORMAT as follows before calling the Report.
DECLARE
     PL_ID          PARAMLIST;
     PL_NAME     VARCHAR2(10) := 'param_list';
BEGIN     
     PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST (PL_NAME);
     IF NOT ID_NULL (PL_ID) THEN
              Destroy_Parameter_List(PL_ID);
     END IF;
     PL_ID := Create_Parameter_List(PL_NAME);
     Add_Parameter (PL_ID, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'FILE');
     Add_Parameter (PL_ID, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'c:\test.pdf');
     Add_Parameter (PL_ID, 'DESFORMAT', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PDF');
        RUN_PRODUCT (REPORTS, 'REPORT_NAME', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, PL_ID, NULL);
END;Hope this helps.
