Some updates on this. I was able to generate a Crystal Report for this where the Flex application opens up in another browser the PDF file which was generated by the report. That would suffice for the moment, although I would still love to hear about possible reporting options integrated inside the Flex application.
By the way, is there a way to display PDF file on Flex itself? Thanks and regards.

If an AIR application is an option for you, you may have more options. For PDF creation, there's the AlivePDF library, but I'm not aware of anything to render a PDF within a SWF (short of sending the pages to the server for rendering as images).
