Click on the Business Objects tab above and then expand SAP Crystal Solutions Support and then Downloads and filter on CR 7.
Oh and I had a look also and I don't see anything specific to PDF. You may have to upgrade to CR 8.5 minimum.
Thank you
Don

CRYSTAL REPORT EXPORT TO PDF INSERTS lowercasee i after t

I have a crystal report file that is stored as image type in table (SQL Server).When i open the report file in my application (Visual Studio (C#) ), it shows the required one.But When i export to pdf and save it to my local hard drive, and if i open that file, i find that after every lowercase 't' , letter 'i' is appended.I searched through google and found that it migh be a font issue.Even after changing the font, i was not able to resolve the issue.
Example : 'Project' becomes 'Projecti'
Please provide a resolution to this issue

Using the JRC, RTF embedded in Crystal while exporting to PDF

Are there enough acronyms for ya? I donu2019t think so either.
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the problem I am facing and what fix, if any, did they find. I have RTF data stored in the database I am trying to read into a report. I set the text interpretation to RTF on the field and u201Cyeah!!u201D I have formatted RTF data as the user entered it in a RTF editor.
While using the JRCu2019s exporter to obtain a PDF format, the formatting set in the RTF tags is no longer being honor during the export (it shows up unformatted when I open the report in Adobe Reader and so my PDF display in code is also off).
Has anyone else encountered this and what did you do to fix it (or was it fixed)?
My little about my environment:
-JVM 1.5
-Crystal jars version 11.8.5
-Eclipse 3.4
Did I miss anything?
From what I have read on here, it sounds like the Crystal jar 12.2.2 is better at supporting fonts in PDF exports but there is something in the sample code not allowing me to use a JDBC connection over a JNDI connection so I will have to get back to whether it is fixed under 12. Regardless though, version 12 is not really a good solution for us for I believe this to be Crystal 2008 which we are not budgeted to license so I need to stick with CR XI R2 jar files.
I also found this in the thread entitle Greek fonts doesnu2019t appear on pdf export : u201CExport it to editable RTF and then using Word 2007 has a plugin that allows you to export to PDF format which will embed the fonts.u201D Is this what I need to do to display fonts that are normally found on a Windows installation (ie Arial, Times New Roman, Courier, etc.)?
Thanks in advanced for any light you may shed on this.

Crystal Reports Export to PDF and Security

I am writing a PC application in VB.Net (using Visual Studio 2005 and which ever Crystal Reports package comes with it) which utilizes Crystal Reports and exports the reports to PDF files. My company creates other PDFs through other programs and is able to set different security options on those PDFs to prevent users from being able to edit them in Adobe Acrobat. I believe this involves setting a password and a few other options. Is there a way to do this when creating a PDF by exporting to PDF a Crystal Report?
Any help or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Could you provide me a link and/or more informationa bout this Crystal Reports Scheduler? I have another issue I'm trying to take care of and I'm wondering if this could help me. I use the Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio 2008 to build my reports and then turn them into PDFs. However these PDFs are not [section 508|http://www.section508.gov/|Section508.gov] compliant. I need to add [tagging|http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/what-are-pdf-tags-and-why-should-i-care|What are PDF tags and why should I care] to the PDFs. Do you know if the component you mentioned can do this? Or of any other product that can?
[This|Export to PDF - Section 508 Accessibility Compliance; is the thread my other question is on.
I'd appreciate any information you could give me.

Issue with Crystal Report export to PDF

Have a report in Crystal Report 2008. The report runs fine, but would like to export it to PDF/EXCEL, but nothing happens when I select the Export type(i.e. PDF,Excel, etc).
Steps to replicate:
1. Run Crystal Report
2. Click on EXPORT button.
3. Select the Export type (PDF).
4. Click on EXPORT - Nothing happens nor does it return any error.
Would someone be able to provide some tips on this issue
Thanks

The problem is that the 3rd party is using some CR SDK. We don't even know what SDK that is. They should be coming here and asking us to help them on your behalf. It is almost impossible for us to help, not knowing how they implemented the SDK, which SDk, etc..

Crystal Report Export to PDF with Group Tree Bookmarks

Dear Forum
I have created a Crystal Report aspx page with an export function of the report to pdf. So far all has been successful, except form one little annoying this. The report does export to a pdf file and it does create bookmarks based on the group tree, BUT when opening the pdf file the bookmarks hiest point which should be the file name is the really long temp file name with .rpt as an extension. I have looked every where to try to get it to write the filename to the bookmark hierarchy without success.
I come you you all for any form of help to solve this issue.
My code is below
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions export_options = new ExportOptions();
            export_options.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
            string ext = ".pdf";
            string reportName = "Filename";
            CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfFormatOptions pdfOptions = new PdfFormatOptions();
            pdfOptions.CreateBookmarksFromGroupTree = true;
            export_options.ExportFormatOptions = pdfOptions;
            report.ExportToHttpResponse(export_options, Response, true, reportName);
            Response.Clear();
            Response.Buffer= true;
            Response.End();
Below is an image of the output
Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Using the search box in the top right corner and entering the search string 'bookmark pdf crystal', the very 1st KBA is:
1331152 - Report exported to PDF format with bookmarks displays the bookmarks as report name plus a GUID
Please see if this resolves the issue for you.

Crystal Report export to PDF cause high Heap usage ?

Hi all,
As part of our reporting integrated with our JSF/JSP application, Crystal report is converted to PDF then sent to browser for user to display. mean while during peak load our Heap usage could reach 3.5GB - 4GB. So I am suspecting the unclosed byteArrayInputStream is the cause.
(This is a production application so I am collecting information before change the code)
Is the unclosed() byteArrayInputStream really cause the problem ? (the codes is below)
Thank you,
Krist
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)
                                 reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(exportOptions);
reportClientDoc.close();
writeToBrowser(byteArrayInputStream, response, "application/csv", EXPORT_FILE);
private void writeToBrowser(ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream, HttpServletResponse
response, String mimetype, String exportFile)
   throws Exception {
      byte[] buffer = new byte[byteArrayInputStream.available()];
      int bytesRead = 0;
      response.reset();
      response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline;filename=" + exportFile);
      response.setContentType(mimetype);
      //Stream the byte array to the client.
      while((bytesRead = byteArrayInputStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
            { response.getOutputStream().write(buffer , 0, bytesRead);}
      //Flush and close the output stream.
      response.getOutputStream().flush();
      response.getOutputStream().close();

I do not know if my solution to my Heap problem will help any of you but I thought I would just post it here
just incase yourselves or others come looking for possible solutions.
I created a very simlpe report with 2 groups and not much in the way of complex functions. Whilst reporting against about
100 pages of output everything worked fine, but as soon as we pushed the report up to 500+ pages we got all sorts
of issues.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
After much hair pulling and trial and error I discovered that the issue came about where I did not declare formula variables as local. I was concatinating various street address details for of the envelope windows.
Stringvar Address;      //    I was using this declaration
Global Stringvar Address;    // Specific Global declaration
Local Stringvar Address;    // Changed to this declaration
After changing to Local, my report now runs with no hassels. And the memory usage whilst exporting the report has gone from maxing out at over 1GB to almost nothing (dont even get it registering)
Am sure someone can come up with a better explanation for this and give reasons but just thougth I would share.
Cheers
Darren

Crystal Report exported as PDF in BO 4.1 SP03 is creating Margins

Our users began complaining this past weekend (6/29/2014) that our Crystal Reports that are formatted to fit to letter head page size in
PDF format are seeing their columns truncated because Adobe is imposing a 1/4 margin on the top and sides of their reports, causing dollar values to truncate a digit at the front or back of their numbers -- NOT a good thing. We have been up on SP03 for several months, but just started seeing this change recently. We also just recently upgraded to CR2011 SP09 a few weeks ago.
Are there new settings that we can tweak to remove the PDF margins on the server? Anyone have any ideas? We will try any idea, no matter how far-fetched as it may seem.
Thanks,
BO Admin in the Dark, losing numbers on reports.

I solved this problem by setting in the report Design -> Page Setup - [X] No Printer - [X] Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size

Loosing alignment while export to PDF

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports XI, I am loosing alignment once crystal Reports is exported into PDF file.
How to retain alignment, please help me out.
Thanks and Regards,
Manjunath Jogin

I would suggest you to edit the registry settings and added the below keys;
Note:-Before you do any modifications in the registry, please take a backup of the registry.
-Create a new key under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports' called 'Export'
-Create a new key under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export' called 'PDF'
-Create a new Dword value called 'UsePrecisePositioningForText' under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF'
-Set the value to 1.
-Create a new Dword value called 'TruncationAdjustment' under 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Repor ts\Export\PDF'
-Set the value to 10.
TruncationAdjustment is DWORD between 0 and 10. It's a 'fudge factor' that adjusts rounding when the total widths of characters are calculated.
Default is 5. Larger values add safety from truncation.
After modifying the registry and relaunching the CR designer, the exported report.
Hope this helps.

Hyperlinks do not work when exporting to PDF (Crystal and Visual Cut)

I have a question about Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Visual Cut 11. I create reports in Crystal and export them using Visual Cut. Some reports contain hyperlinks to files on a network drive. However, the links only work while in Crystal. The PDF files that are printed through Visual Cut display the links, but they are not clickable. How can this issue be fixed?
In case it helps, the links also work when I export reports from Crystal to HTML, Word, and Excel, but not when I export to Acrobat. I believe it is a problem with tagging/accessibilityfeatures. So is there a setting/formula in Crystal or Visual Cut that would allow the exported PDF files to be accessible?

While Crystal exports to pdf indeed lose hyperlink functionality (both in Crystal as well as in Visual CUT), Visual CUT allows you to use Crystal formulas (acting as hidden Tags) to create hyperlinks in the resulting pdf file. Another option supported by Visual CUT it to automatically detect file references in the pdf text and turn them into hyperlinks. Contact MilletSoftware for more detail.

Get blank report in Crystal Report Viewer when exporting to PDF

I have an application that creates reports in the CrystalReportViewer while at the same time exports a PDF of that report. I am having a problem in which
performing the export causes the report in the ReportViewer and the PDF report to be blank. They have the header and column labels but no data. If I
comment out the Me.Export(reportExportOptions) line at the end of the exportPDFReport method the report in the ReportViewer works fine, displaying
data on the report.
I have other forms that perfrom this same type of function on different reports and work fine. In fact they use the same exportPDFReport method. This leads
me to believe that a difference in the reports may be causing the problem. But I can't figure out why.
I am using .net 3.5 with Crystal Reports 2008 (CR2008) full edition in Visual Studio 2008. Although the reports that work were probably created using
VS 2005 and the VS 2005 edition of Crystal, and which have since been updated to CR2008.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks for any help!

End Sub

Pretty much.
Seems I had at one time hard coded a record selection statement that I forgot to remove which caused the report to be blank. That solved my problem, but there still seems to be an issue in that the Crystal Report Viewer performed differently when I tried to export to PDF (no records displayed) then when I didn't (records displayed).

Error while exporting in pdf in crystal report XI

Post Author: Siddheswar
CA Forum: General
hi
I am getting the following error in crystal report XI while exporting to pdf.
The Error:
Method 'ISCREditableRTFExportFormatOptions_reserved5' on type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.EditableRTFExportFormatOptionsClass' from assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel, Version=11.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' is overriding a method that has been overridden.
Please Help.
Thanking in advance.

The stack trace is caused by whitespace in your CrystalReportViewer.jsp file. Look up SAP Note 1199025 for the resolution.
It's not related to the PDF formatting issue. There's been changes to the formatting with the most recent version - Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - so if you haven't already, I recommend you upgrade.
Note that there's differences in font metric calculation when using Adobe PDF format such that there's no way to get exact agreement between output of the CR and PDF. But the latest version helps greatly.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Problem while exporting to PDF with japanese character in Crystal Report X1

Hi,
I am using Crystal report X1 with classic ASP on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server, SP 2. In my application, I have to export the report into PDF, CSV, DOC formats. I am have Japanese strings in the report. While exporting to PDF, empty boxes has displayed in the place of Japanese string and in CSV file, question mark has been displayed instead of Japanese string. But the Doc file is exported correctly. I have not installed any language support software either in server or in client machine. I have used MS Gothic and Arial Unicode MS fonts for the text-objects which has Japanese strings.
Please give me a solution so that I will get PDF file with Japanese strings instead of empty box or question mark.
Do I need to install any language support pack software?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Manju

Hi Don,
Thank You for your reply. I have resolved the issue of exporting to pdf from crystal report X1 having Japanese data after installing the language pack.
But when I am exporting to CSV or TXT, i am getting ??? instead of Japanese characters. I have tried "export" through crystal report designer and got ??? instead of Japanese.
The Crystal report version I am using is Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282
Crystal Report Desinger is installed in Windows Xp machine
Font set for Text object is Arial Unicode MS, MS PMincho, MS PGothic
Does the Crystal report X1 11.0.0.1282 has the UTF-8 support for CVS / txt
Please provide me a solution
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Manju

Report with Summary & Detail - Exporting to PDF in Crystal Report

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports XI (release 2). I am trying out a report with Summary and Detail sections.
Requirement:
1.     Report should display both Summary and Detail Sections
2.     Summary section should be displayed first followed by Detail Section
3.     A field in summary section should have a hyperlink to Detail Section
4.     On clicking the hyperlink the user should be navigated to the corresponding detail record
5.     User should be able to download the whole report as a single PDF (i.e., both summary and detail together)
Implementation in Crystal Report:
This feature could be implemented using
a.     Linked On Demand Sub report
b.     Using Hide (Drill down ok) option
c.     Hyperlinks
Issue Faced:
I used the on demand sub report option. When i clicked on the sub report (hyperlink), the details get displayed. But the details get displayed in separate viewer and hence when we export to PDF both summary and detail are not getting exported together. User has to select each detail report and export to PDF. Is this a limitation in CR XI? - proprietary Crystal Report features, such as drill-down and on-demand subreports, are supported only in the native Crystal Report format. These special features are ignored when exporting a report to a non-Crystal format like pdf.
Is there any workaround for exporting both the summary and detail (in subreport) as a single PDF file?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Viji.

Hi
Hyperlink would not be a solution to what you are asking for.
If you want to see the records related to a particular employee id by clicking on emp id, you can try the below:
- Apply a group on employee id on the main report.
- Insert a subreport with the required fields and place it on the Employee id Group header. You can put a name of the subreport as "Check Employee details" or something else as per requirement and make it a on demand subreport.
- Link the subreport on Employee id.
Hope this helps!!!
