Encrypt Crystal Report .rpt file

Is it possible to encrypt Crystal Report file so that it cannot be opened by Report Designer
Version used :Crystal Reports XI

I think, at the best what you can do is password protect the report to isolate it from any changes being made.
Go to File>>Report Options and check the 'Save lock report design' check mark.You will be prompted for a password and then the report is safe from any undesired modifications.
Unless a valid/correct password is provided,users will not be able to make any changes in the report,however they will be able to open/view it.
Thanks

Localization of text objects in Crystal Report RPT file

Dear all,
Does anyone know how support multiple locale text (English and French) in one single Crystal Report RPT file. Is there a way to parameterize text objects (including tiles, axis, of chart) in the Crystal Report RPT files to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text instead of creating RPT file per locale. For example, inserting a text object in RPT file and it has text "Welcome" in English and use the same RPT file and parameterize that text object's text with a resource file and the text of that object will retrieve the proper localized text from that resource file at runtime based on the user's locale setting.

Easiest way is to place duplicate copies of charts in split sections.
If you have a chart in a group footer, split into two sections place English chart in one and french in the other.
In section expert suppress section based on language field in database. You can do same with Text box or you can over lay two text boxes one in english one in French and then format text box to suppress depending on language. Looks really messy in designer but will be fine in Preview.

Localization of CrossTab row and column label Crystal Report RPT file

Dear all,
Does anyone know how to support multiple locale texts (English and French) in CrossTab Row and Column Header labels and grand total labels? Is there a way to parameterize text objects CrossTab in one single Crystal Report RPT file to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text for CrossTab Row and Column abels and grand total labels instead of creating RPT files per locale?

Hi,
Does the database have a column that identifies the language? If it does, then you could create two separate cross-tabs and place them in different sections and conditionally suppress the section depending on the language from the database.
That's the only thing that can be done in my opinion.

Support for older Crystal Reports .rpt files in BOE XI 3.1

Does anyone know how far back you can go with Crystal Reports objects in BOE XI 3.1? In other words, what's the oldest version of Crystal .rpts that are supported in BOE XI 3.1? Can you run Crystal Reports 9 .rpt files? I'm trying to keep from having to update around 4-5 thousand older .rpts files for an upgrade to BOE XI 3.1.
If we have to do a mass upgrade to CR 2008, what's the best way to do that?
Edited by: Michael Garrett on Aug 23, 2011 4:46 PM

Hi,
from an upgrade perspective you can upgrade from CE9 to XI 3.1. Check
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646952008E/xi3-1_bip_upgrade_en.pdf
(S-User needed)
Do you have a running CE9 installation? If yes i would recommend upgrading this to XI 3.1 as described in the Guide. Or have you these "4-5 thousand" CR9 documents local on a file location?

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

How does a PowerBuilder 12.6 program invoke a Crystal Report 2013 file (rpt)?

Background:
We have been trying to find a solution how to invoke Crystal Reports file (.rpt) from Powerbuilder 12.6.
From the various forum discussions, it seems that the Crystal Viewer OLE control has been deprecated in Crystal Reports 2013.
What methods are available to invoke Crystal Reports 2013 rpt files from Powerbuilder 12.6, if any?
What methods are available to invoke Crystal Reports 2013 rpt files from other platforms, e.g, C++, .NET, Java, etc.?
Please post a solution or suggestion to accomplish this.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Hi Leonard;
You might want to ask this question as well in the CR Forum as SAP now owns that product as well. I am sure that Delhi, VB, etc developers must also need to know.

Merging Crystal Report output files (rpt) into 1 rpt file.

Hi All,
Is there any way to merge output/result of multiple CR files into one output file (like .rpt)? Or any technique you can advise as a workaround?
I want to do this for archiving purposes and batch printing or .rpt files.
Thanks in advance.
-Alvin

At least one of the 3rd-party Report Managers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html allows you to automate the process of exporting multiple reports to pdf and merging the output into a single pdf file (with optional bookmarks). You can also generate page numbers and a table of content for the merged pdf file.

Remove the Crystal Reports (.rpt) Export Option from IE Viewer

When I click the "export" button from my IE Crystal Viewer the first export option is "Crystal Reports". I need to get rid of that option as I don't want my clients to export my report to an .rpt file.
How do I manage this list in .Net 2005? I know there is a file that needs to be modified but I just don't know which one.

When you click on Export button a window should pop up which contains a dropdown for all formats.
As you are not getting dropdown.The .js file is not correct.Copy the same file from some other machine of same version or
You can try with making changes in export.js file.
Path of export.js file is :
C:\WINDOWS:\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NET ClientFiles\CrystalReportWebformViewer3\JS\export.js
Create backup of that file before editing.
Hope this helps!!

When I run my app. om the server and want to see a report created with Crystal Report, I'm told that Crystal Report runtime is not installed correct.
I have tryied to instal both CRRuntime_12_0_mlb and CRRedist2008_x64. But I still get the errormessage.
What am I doing wrong og missing.
Which .dll files are required on the Server and in my app directory??
When I run the app on my local machine the report works perfect.

What is the version of the assembly crystal decisions.crystal reports. engine.dll referenced in your app? Also, remeber that only CR 10.2 and CR 10.5 (Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008) are 64 bit. All other versions of CR are 32 bit. See [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e] article for more details.
