No link after exporting Crystal report as pdf file

Hello,
          If my Crystal Report contain link to the .avi file saved on the local hard disk and if I export the Report as .pdf file, pdf file does not contain that link. Why?
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Taken from CR Help File:
"PDF format is a page-based format. The exported documents are intended for printing and redistribution. PDF format will export both layout and formatting in a manner that is consistent with how the report looks on the Preview tab. PDF format embeds the TrueType fonts that appear in the document. (Non-TrueType fonts are not supported.) This export format does not support Microsoft font-linking technologyu2014which is used to provide support for some extended character sets such as Chinese HKCS. Therefore, the fonts used in the report must contain all of the required glyphs. These URI types are supported for hyperlinks: "http:", "https:" and "mailto:".
Therefore your hyperlink is not working as u are using File type when cr only supports http https and mailto uri types

please help me for this problem
many thank's

Hi Ludek
Thank you for your response. I have installed SP3 and ProcMon and still the same result.
I applied a filter on ProcMon to filter out items where the path contains 'export'.
There are a few items where the result is 'NAME NOT FOUND' but I don't think it necessarly had anything to do with the barcode. These include items such as 'EXPORT\MailDestType','EXPORT\DisableExportLiveOfficeSupport'','EXPORT\ExportDirectory' to name a few.
What drew my attention was the ACCESS DENIED result on specifically the EXPORT\PDF folders. The detail for these are Desired Access : All access, however the very same entry appears a little futher on as a SUCCESS but this is detailed as Desired Access: Query Value.
So in summary it looks something like this:
User : Server\XXX
Operation : RegOpenKey
Path : HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Result : ACCESS DENIED
Desired Access : All Access
User : Server\XXX
Operation : RegOpenKey
Path : HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Result : SUCCESS
Desired Access : Query Value
There are a few other entries that follow this pattern that exists in other locations such as HKLM\Software...
Could this 'ACCESS DENIED' be the problem? and If so how do I, and should I give user XXX this ALL Access its looking for.
Regards
Elroy

Layout Issue after exporting crystal report XI in pdf format

Hi All,
I have developed a crystal report in XI version. I have set my page layout properties in the report to be in landscape orientation and A2 size sheet with No Printer(optimize for screen display) option unchecked. The problem is when I export the report in pdf and open the report in pdf for printing, it takes the printer preference settings that are set to portrait and letter format. If I change my printer prefence settings to landscape, it works fine. But, I do not want to change my printer preference settings and want that the settings that I am giving in crystal report designer must be taken for printing purposes in pdf.
I hope, I was able to put forward the question correctly without any confusion.
Can someone please help me out to find a solution ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Akshay
Always quote the actual version of Crystal Reports you are working with. E.g.; CR IX is not quite enough and the best place to find the actual version is in the Help | About screen of the CR designer.
By CR XI, you could mean CR 11.0.x, or CR 11.5.x. If you are using CR 11.0.x, update to CR 11.5 (also referred to as CR XI R2). See this blog on how to.

Export Crystal Report to PDF

Hi,
in my Crystal Report (2008) is a chart, designed with Xcelsius 2008. The report is displayed well. When I export my Flash-Chart from Xcelsius to PDF the chart is displayed correctly in PDF document.
When I export the Crystal Report to PDF my Flash-Chart is displayed completley grey in PDF document. There is the same issue when I schedule my Crystal Report to PDF on BO Edge-Server.
Is this a known issue and can be fixed?

I am bringing this subject back up because I am still having problems with this. I am using CR 2008, Xcelsius 2008 and Edge 3.1 Enterprise Server along with a Visual Basic 2005 program. I have Adobe Reader 9 loaded on both my local machine and the server where Edge is installed.
I have a report that is passing flash variables to an embedded .swf file which is a pretty simple horizontal stacked bar chart. When I view this report in CR on my local machine everything on the report is correct and I can print it to PDF and it is correct when I view it with Adobe Reader. I can also print the report to a printer and get the desired result which is the most important thing here.
My next step is saving the report to the Enterprise server. I then run my Winform Visual Basic program that passes the paramters to the report and schedules it to run on the server. The report runs fine and we access it with InfoView. Again the report looks fine because when we open it, it opens with Adobe Reader on the server. The problem is when we try to print this instance of the report from the server the chart keeps doubling up the stacked bars so there are two of them instead of the one.
Does anybody have any ideas????
Thank you in advance.

Exporting Crystal Report to pdf

Hi,
We have a crystal report that is stored in Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1. The requirement is to connect to the Enterprise and export the report as pdf in .NET web page. I see a lot of RAS samples. But we are required to use the Business Objects Enterprise sdk dlls for this purpose.
Can somebody provide me a sample for this.
Thanks
Irene

Hi Adam,
Yes I am trying to use the Page Server option of RAS to open the report. That is only one working due to firewall restrictions.
But I was trying to set the report parameters in the report Object and assumed that it should be reflected when opening the report. But that does not seem to work. So now what I did is, I tried to set the report source to report viewer control and change the parameters through code.
        boEnterpriseService = boEnterpriseSession.GetService("PSReportFactory");
        boReportAppFactory = (PSReportFactory)boEnterpriseService.Interface;
        ISCRReportSource objRep = boReportAppFactory.OpenReportSource(boInfoObject.ID);
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = objRep;
        CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterFields objFields = CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo;
        CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue objDis = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue();
        objDis.Value = "Product Category";
        objFields[0].CurrentValues.Clear();
        objFields[0].CurrentValues.Add(objDis);
        CrystalReportViewer1.ShowFirstPage();
So the report shown in the viewer is opened with the parameters specified. But now I have the problem of exporting. I need to export this report with the parameters specified in code to pdf.
What are the options. I tried using the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument so I can do the export but am getting Communication Failure:FWM 0001.
Is there any way of directly exporting the report from the viewer without user intervention ?
Thanks
Irene

I got the same error message when trying to export a report to Excel format. This happened with an existing report that had always exported with no problem, until I added a couple of new formulas. After investigating, I discovered that one of my formulas was returning a divide by zero error if a date range was too small. Once I fixed that formula, it began exporting again with no problem. I discovered this by trying to export to PDF (since all of the situations discussed here involved PDF) and that was when it returned the divide by zero error.

Exporting Crystal reports to PDF from VB - Hmmmm doozy

Post Author: shiniz
CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
Hello,
I'm currently exporting successfully to PDF from crystal reports 10 to PDF using options:
Report.ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
Report.Export(False)
All is well but I would like the PDF I export to be mono colour (ie black and white) not greyscale.
Is there an option I am missing? or is this a question I should raise on a VB forum...
Thanks for any suggestion..

This problem cleared up when I re-saved my main report after editing the embedded sub-reports. Was related to extra headers and footers being added to sub-reports, along with "can grow" format option set to "No".

Export Crystal Report to PDF only

Hi,
I'm new to Crystal Report(CR) for VS2010, so please bear with me. How do i make CR to export to PDF file only. When i try to click on the export icon, it gives me so many options to export the file but i only need the user to export to PDF file. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
CR for VS 2010 now gives you the options through an API to allow which types will show up in the export options.
In your viewer click event add this :
private void ViewReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    rptClientDoc = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
    crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
    // set up the format export types:
    // to set each type allowed
    //int myFOpts = (int)(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptFormat | CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.PdfFormat | CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptrFormat | CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XLSXFormat );
    // to set all types allowed
    int myFOpts = (int)(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.AllFormats);
    crystalReportViewer1.AllowedExportFormats = myFOpts;
Thank you

Hello guys,
I'm trying to export a .rpt file into PDF. The exporting works fine without any problem. However, there is only one problem. Report has a time-based chart and the date format i want to show is dd-mm. How do i get this to work? I tried setting a default format for the .rpt file, but PDF export does not take this format. Whats the work around for this?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PDF export is one of the things that i'm using CR template for. THere are other things as well which work fine. In the PDF export too, i'm just facing one problem. In case of graphs where date is to be shown, i want to show date in a specific format (dd-mm), whereas, in the PDF export the format is defaulted to mm/dd/yyyy format. I have set the date format (dd-mm) globally for the .rpt file, still it doesnt seem to be helping.
Next thing i tried is, split the date into dd & mm as individual numbers. I then concatenate 2 nos. with a '-' sign in between to get the desired format. When i run the report with CR, all looks good. But when i export it into PDF, 2 decimals are added in front of each digit & the whole date format is disturbed. e.g if the date & month is 11-04 PDF displays it as 11.00-04.00.
Any ideas as to how i can correc this?
I have set the default number format for the .rpt file to 0 decimals. Even then this problem
Any suggestions pls..

Drill-down options on exported Crystal reports (PDF/HTML)

Is it possible to drill-down on the exported crystal reports in PDF/HTML format?

PDF format does not support drill-down.
PDF format supports bookmarking to specific locations in the document, but not something refined as drilling.

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
        End Try
    End Sub

You have two ways of exporting;
1) Use the viewer - you will get the dialog youare looking for
2) Use the report engine as you are doing - no dialog
If you need to use the engine, you will have to create your own dialog, retrieve the values entered by the user, then use the APIs you have in your code.
