Hello,
You will have to provide a connection string when using the Report Writer product. This is designed to generate the reports using the data from a database or you can also use a DataTable object as data source. But you will have to specify the connection string in the designer.
If you have a DataTable then you can assign it to the record set of the report without using the connection string you have provided in the designer. There is no need of queries here. You will have to do this by using the event driven queries.
If you do not want to provide the connection string also then you will have to use the Generator product. There is no designer in this but you can create the PDF report without any problem. You will have a better control over all the elements. You can add the data to the PDF by using the page elements and you will have to specify the X, Y position for the elements.
Thanks,
