Wow! That's a blast from the past. I didn't know Crystal Reports
was still being used, I haven't seen it in over 20 years!

This is going to be really tricky to do by hand so you will need
to hope that somebody has written a module or package to work with
Crystal. (There are a few PDF writing packages so that might be
doable from scratch if not supported in your module.)

I'd start with some Google type searches. A very quick search
suggests that there is a module that can run the Crystal Reports
executable robotically from Python. So if you are running this
on a machine with CR installed it might be possible. But I
didn't see anything that suggests there is a native .rpt
file reader. Could you get the data in another format
such as CSV? That would make life much easier!
