yes it is - I've used it. It can export data to Excel and PDF files.

take a look at this SO question. It pertains to C# but since the libraries are .net compat..you should be ok

You can export to a PDF file using a Crystal Reports object, which comes packaged with Visual Studio.

The PDFSharp library (http://pdfsharp.com/) is something I used recently in a C# project. There are a lot of advanced features but fortunately you can start with just a few basic commands. Give it a try.
