2 things:
1. It's complex to create and design a crystal report as per grid layout - a good project in itself
2. Why have a datagrid dependancy if you want a data driven crystal report?

Now,
Option 1: Export your grid with data as is in reports - excel, pdf, image etc:
Exporting a DataGridView to an Excel/PDF/image file by using Reporting Services report generation[^]
Exporting GridView to PDF Document using ITextSharp Library[^]

Option 2: Design a crystal report as you want and then call that report whenever you want to view it (i.e. when you want to show data of gridview in report)
C# Crystal Reports step by step [^]
