Export to pdf hangs on large reports

Question

CA Forum: Exporting
Hello. I have a Crystal Report that's part of an ASP.net web application written in VS.2003. The report is grouped so it can be run for 1 record or hundreds. The report runs fine for a data set of up to about 100 records. (the report is 1-2 pages long) After this, the export process hangs and never finishes exporting the report. (the file size in my temp directory shows 0) This is the code I'm using to export the report. With a large dataset, it never makes it past crReportDocument.export()        Dim crExportOptions As ExportOptions        Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions As DiskFileDestinationOptions        Dim Fname As String        Fname = "c:\temp\" & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"        crDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions        crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = Fname        crExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions        With crExportOptions            .DestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOptions            .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile            .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat        End With        crReportDocument.Export()        crReportDocument.Close()        Response.ClearContent()        Response.ClearHeaders()        Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"        Response.WriteFile(Fname)        Response.Flush()        Response.Close()        System.IO.File.Delete(Fname) I appreciate any help you can give. I've Googled this issue for the past few hours and have not found anything helpful.Sue in Ithaca, NY

I quickly put this together… You said in the first post you have 3 presets… Have you set the marks offsets in there? It's bare bones NO error trapping in it but you could add that… It would expect your named presets to exist… Just replace my '5mm' and so on with your names…
#target indesign
function exportFolder() {
          var i, inFolder, idFiles, doc, offSet, pdfPre, pdfFile;
          inFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Where\'s the folder of ID files?' );
          if ( inFolder == null ) { return };
          idFiles = inFolder.getFiles( '*.indd' );
          for ( i = 0; i < idFiles.length; i++ ) {
                    doc = app.open( idFiles[i] );
                    offSet = doc.documentPreferences.documentBleedTopOffset;
                    if ( offSet == 5 ) { pdfPre = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName( '5mm' ) };
                    if ( offSet == 10 ) { pdfPre = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName( '10mm' ) };
                    if ( offSet == 15 ) { pdfPre = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName( '15mm' ) };
                    pdfFile = File( doc.fullName.toString().replace( '.indd', '.pdf' ) );
                    doc.exportFile( ExportFormat.pdfType, pdfFile, false, pdfPre, '', false );
                    doc.close( SaveOptions.NO );
exportFolder();
