Just do like this,

Created new folder to save PDF files in application startup path, folder name is PDF.

Remove this line

Reports.Show()

Add this code

Try
    Dim CrExportOptions As ExportOptions
    Dim CrDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
    Dim CrFormatTypeOptions As New PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
    Dim FilePath As String = Application.StartupPath & "\PDF\" & "SalesBillACInvoice.pdf"
    CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FilePath
    CrExportOptions = RepDoc.ExportOptions
    With CrExportOptions
        .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
        .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
        .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
        .FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions
    End With
    RepDoc.Export()
Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
