Id recommend having a reporting server, like sql server reporting services, that is centralized (like your DB should be) and you just make calls to SSRS web service to generate reports which download to the clients PC. Thats the best option (not necessarily SSRS, but to not install a report generating server on every clients computer). You can also deploy RDL (which are ssrs reports) which you can deploy to clients computer and generate reports locally without a server.

What if you do custom reports?
You can check this to export:

Maybe you can use Aspose, or some tool to create Excel Reports, or another file extensions. It's an option to do reports.

I recently came across a comparison sheet for reporting tools here:
Comparison Table
Sure, it's hosted by a reporting tool vendor, however it seems quite balanced and is very informative anyway.
