Question : export or backup from sql 2008 server to a sql 2005

  We are using sql 2008 to develop our software but need to export a database from our 2008 so it can be imported to SQL 2005.  I know I can install sql 2005 on my system and export but I would like to avoid that if possible.  Any ideas?
