Embedding report in email

I'm trying to schedule a Crystal report to have the output destination be email. This works fine to attach the result report in the email, but I'm trying to get the report result embedded directly in the email (so an attachment doesn't have to be opened). Is this possible?

I believe (though not positive) this is possible if you schedule via a Publication. i.e. use the Crystal Report as the source for the Publication and schedule to HTML via email.

Embedding report into body of email

Hi all,
We use CR2008 as well as Crystal Server 2008. Can I create a report which I can then import to Crystal Server which when it is generated, it sends it as the body of the email?
All reports we currently schedule through Crystal Server are attachments (Excel or PDF) in an email. What we want is for the report to be seen in the email so that the recipients view the resultant data without having to open an attachment, it is just there when they open the email.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
     There is no tool "out of the box" that will allow you to embed Crystal Report in email body.
     You will need to use third party tool to achieve this.
General Workflow where I have seem people used in the past
     Export the RPT to PDF then manually save the PDF as image (Oleobject/jpeg).
                     You may want to check the SAP BO SDK forum for help on writing the script.
     But be warn of embedding as email body, if you have multiple pages in your Crystal report, you will get a very long email body or in this case a big image.

Can Grow Vertical Alignment Error in Embedded Report View, but not in .PDF

Hello,
I have seen postings about this issue before, but have yet to find a solution.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 w/ the basic version of Crystal Reports that is included.
I have a simple report that displays results of a stored procedure as rows across the report. One field can be of variable length, anywhere from 0 to 100 characters. Usually it's something reasonable (less than 40 chars), and so I have only given it so much width in the report. For when it is longer than that, I turned the "Can Grow" property ON, and set the Maximum Number of Lines property to 0.
When the report displays embedded in my Web Form, and this field's data is wider than the space I have allowed, it breaks the data down into multiple lines of the same correct width, as you'd expect, but those lines end up displaced vertically upward several rows, and print directly on top of other data from the above rows, make the report unreadable in that area (and quite ugly overall!).
If I export this report to a .PDF, it displays perfectly, without the vertical displacement error.
Anyone know what the official work is on this? Is there a fix or is this a bug?
If there is no fix, does anyone know how to direct the report to the .PDF file viewer, so the embedded report remains invisible (and thus hides the ugly error), but the user has the .PDF version to see? My client ultimately wants to export the report to .PDF, which I have already coded, but it does not open the .PDF Viewer, just saves the report to disk. However, if I use the Crystal built-in Export button, it first displays a pop-up asking which format to export to, then if .PDF is chosen and okay is clicked, the pop-up switches to contain the .PDF Viewer, and opens the report. In my user-defined export code, the .PDF is correctly created, but I am missing the step on how to open the .PDF Viewer.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the responses.
Jonathan, moving the field in question to its own details section (details B) did not fix the issue. The field in question is moved slightly down as its in a new details section with sits slightly lower than details A, but when it has to be broken up into multiple lines, the same issue arises, the field text is displaced vertically upward and sits on top of other data.
Ludek, I wanted to send the report to a .PDF Viewer in a new browser, and keep the original browser intact. I'm using code very similar to yours. To launch the new broswer I added this code to the Page_Load of my main browser:
btnViewReport.Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.open(Page.aspx', """", """", 'height=200,width=400')")
When the button is clicked the report is exported, and the new browser opens Page.aspx.
I use this code in Page_Load of Page.aspx:
        Dim webClient As System.Net.WebClient = New System.Net.WebClient()
        Dim buffer As Byte() = webClient.DownloadData("C:\Reports\Report.pdf")
        If Not buffer.Length.Equals(0) Then
            Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
            Response.AddHeader("content-length", buffer.Length.ToString())
            Response.BinaryWrite(buffer)
        End If
Any other ideas on the original vertical displacement issue when using Can Grow, I'd still appreciate it.
Thanks,
Scott

Then your

Does anyone know why please? I've tried several captcha attempts in vain.
Nationwide doesn't appear to have a Report Spam email address any more. Is this normal online banking practice now?
Solved!

How do I email photos taken on the iphone, without having them embedded in the email? I would like to have them as attachments, not shown in the body of the email.

@ Philly
Yes there is,
When you recieve a mail with an attachement (inline or as a picture) right click (or control click) the attachement and choose "show as symbol" or "show fullsize" (or completely or something like that, I don't work in English version). Mail will take this as a general preference.

Exchange 2010 embedded images in email problem

We have Exchange 2010 and the limit on our global settings and various send/receive connectors is 30720 KB everywhere for Max receive size & max send size. Currently, even if the message size is well below the KB limit, if there are enough images
embedded in the message the email is not delivered successfully.
For example, if there are 222 small attachments embedded in an email with the email message TotalBytes = 657358 (~658 KB), the email does not deliver and this is the error that is logged in Exchange:
554-5.3.4 Content conversion limit(s) exceeded 554 5.3.4 STOREDRV.Deliver.Exception:ConversionFailedException; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message The content conversion limit has been exceeded. ConversionFailedException: The
content conversion limit has been exceeded. [Stage: CreateReplay]
This appears to be a bug with the number of images and the fact that they are embedded into the message. Is there a fix for this issue? Or is there a setting in Exchange I can adjust to allow these messages to be delivered successfully?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

How do I send photos as jpg icons not embedded in the email?

Hi was wondering how I would send a photo as a jpg icon and have it show up as the same icon, not the actual photo embedded in the email?

You can Command (right) - click on the photo in the email and select View as Icon in the contextual menu.
Set the format as plain text as select Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments in the Edit ➙ Attachments menu.
It will display as an icon in the outgoing email. However, no matter you do it will depend on how the receiving email client is configured as to how the photo will be presented at that end.

Send report via email as xls file.

Hello from Spain,
Sorry if this is not the correct forum. It's both a forms and reports question, but I think it fits better in the reports forum. I have queried into the forums for similar questions and found some threads without any replies around this same issue. I wish I am lucky today.
I have developed some web forms which generate pdf and txt reports. The latter ones make use of desformat=delimiteddata when calling the reports. They run fine. I have also developed one form which suscribes those reports to email addresses. To do so, I am setting those email addresses in the DESNAME reports parameter and setting DESTYPE parameter as MAIL. They arrive as an attachment with pdf or txt extensions.
Now, I am required to deliver those reports as xls files. I have been reading that desformat=spreadsheet would allow me to do so (as well as formatting the reports and make them look "cuter" than by using just delimiteddata), but have been unable to do it so far. When setting desformat=spreadsheet, reports are sent via email as html attachments, and when they are opened they look awful. Is there any way I can do this? It shouldn't be a too big deal, but I feel completely unable.
Thank you,
Fernando G.

Hi,

Why can't I open/see PDF files that are embedded in an email or sent through the internet?

I can read/see PDF files that are attached to an email, but I can't see/read them if they are embedded in an email or sent through the internet.

I have a similar problem. I can open, read, and save PDF files, but I can't view my online bank statement on my Mac. The statement opens automatically if I use a PC, but on my Mac the page says I need Adobe Reader to view my statement. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader. The problem seems to be that that the plugin only goes to the Libray. It doesn't get installed into Safari or into FireFox either.

Cannot view embedded images in emails with iPad mini

Hi there - I can't view embedded images in emails with iPad mini. Any reason why?
Can anyone help?

I am having the same problem + I cannot download pdf attachment effectively.
This all happened after I upgraded the iOS to 7.x. In iOS 6.x, everything was working fine. I was able to see all the images in the email and, when I clicked on the pdf attachment, it would ask me if I want to save the pdf file to iBook. Right now, I cannot have either ones working.
I am using iPad 2.
