Exporting a report with group in crystal report

Hi all,
I am new to crystal reports XI.
I have designed a report in which I have created 2 groups.
The structure of report is shown below.
MAIN REPORT:
Status           1st     2nd 3rd
A               10      20   30
B               40      50   60
When I double click on groups(either A or B) another subreport gets opened.
The structure of the sub report is
DETAILED REPORT:
A            10        20     30
Name:XYZ
Age:XY
Place:XYZ.
My query is when i export the report in PDF format only the main report is getting exported.
I have to run this report through BOXI and have to send the mail to users in PDF format.
But when i export the report in PDF format i am not able to see the detailed report.
Please give me suggestions how can i resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance...

In the report design description I undestand that when you double click on the group header it opens the subreport. I think this might be on demand subreport or you might have used suppress condition for the subreport section using "drilldowngrouplevel". If you are suppressing conditionally and showing the report when you double click on it these feature will work only in crystal report but not in PDF. So it is better to remove conditional suppress and show the complete data so that when you export it to PDF it will show all the data.

Error exporting to CSV with groups

Post Author: HuskerSkip
CA Forum: Exporting
Iu2019m having a problem exporting reports to the CSV format. Iu2019m seeing the problem both in the report designer and in my C# code. Here are the conditions under which the problem appears:
Report contains at least one group.
Report Header & Footer, Page Header & Footer, and Group Headers are all suppressed. Only Details is visible.
Selection Formula is such that it returns no records.
When I export the report as CSV from the report designer I get this error: u201CFailed to export the report.u201D
When I export from my C# code, I get this error: u201CError in File C:\DOCUME~1\...EBDF30}.rpt: Operation not yet implemented.u201D
If the Selection Formula is such that it returns records, then everything works fine. Other extract formats also work fine. It only seems to be CSV with an empty dataset that has the problem.
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, are there any workarounds?
Thanks,

I wouldn't think it would be a problem. Are you sure you have write permission where you want to save the PDF?

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.

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

Can not view/export a report which has 2 group by field when no data found

Recently I developed a report, which contains 2 group by fields. it runs successfully when the report displays some data.
but when there is no data, i cann't view/export this report.
It shows nothing by html format and shows "this file cannot be opened because it has no pages" message by pdf format.
even there is no records for this report, i still want to see the template file and show some basic information.
please help me.
Daniel

I've found that, just like I used to do in Oracle Reports, if you put in a COUNT column to count your returning rows, you can put 'No Data Found' when there's no data. That way, your report will return and not error out.
For .pdfs, this is the code I use; COUNT with code of <?if:count(field_name)=0?>.
In the .rtf..
COUNT
No Data Found
END COUNT
Put this in the .rtf before your data should appear or else it won't work.
Hope this helps!

Crystal Reports 10 Enterprise Server Issue - Exporting Large Reports to PDF

Weu2019re implementing a Crystal Reports 10 Server for a customer but weu2019re having an issue with exporting large reports to PDF. The report size that starts to show this issue is roughly 300 pages with 20 records per page. We use the default Crystal ActiveX viewer.
Basically what happens is that the user will launch the report in the ActiveX viewer and the large report will take a while to load, as much as 3 to 4 minutes. The user may then wish to export to PDF. Once they attempt it with these large reports the viewer will basically hang and possibly be processing but will then time-out after roughly 5 minutes with this error:
u201CProxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /thinqreports/THINQCrystalInterface.asp.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1.0.9 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) Server at lmsproxy.aurora.org Port 443u201D
We believe this error is coming from a server on our network. We have a proxy server between users and the Crystal Server that has a 5 minute time-out for connections. What we want to know is:
- Is there a way to speed up this export to PDF process?
- Should the Crystal Viewer be keeping an http connection alive to the Crystal Report Server while its doing this export process?
- If not, what port does Crystal Viewer use to communicate with the Crystal Report Server?
- Is there something we can set in Crystal to keep an http connection open?
- What is actually occurring during this export process?
Occasionally, we may get the above error when simply launching a report, not just attempting to export to PDF. We presume that is because loading the report into the Crystal Viewer from the Crystal Report Server is taking longer than 5 min.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

Scott,
As this is happening within Enteprise (and I am assuming the report does not time out in the Crystal Reports Designer) I would suggest posting this to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration
forum.
My limited Enterprise knowledge would be to suggest scheduling the report as PDF but I don't know if that is a viable option for you.

Problems in exporting Urdu data to pdf through Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
We have a designed a crystal report in latest Crystal Report SP2. The database used is MS Access, the data is in Urdu langauge. The data is displayed properly on crystal report main preview.
The problem is only when we export the report to PDF there is a data loss. The content is not properly exported.
Some additional unexpected characters are also getting inserted.
But the same content is proper if we export the report into .rtf or .doc format.
I have tried this with Arial Unicode MS and C-DAC UROT-GIST Galid fonts.
Please help.

Vista/Adobe 9/sql image Error in Crystal Report:Failed to Export the Report

When I try to export my Crystal Report (v2008) from a Vista machine (using Crystal RDC export methods) as a PDF, I get the following error:
Error in Crystal Report: Failed to export the report.
This only happens when a particular subreport (that contains a sql image) prints (based on an input parameter). We have other subreports (within this same report) that print a sql image just fine. But, when this subreport prints, the above error appears.
I can run the same report on an XP machine without error.
Exportmodeller.dll and crtsv.dll are both installed and registered to the
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\bin folder
I have tried opening the report, removing the image, and then adding it back in again to the subreport.
Still receive the same error.
Any suggestions?

Don,
Can you please clarify?
Our VB6 app that uses Crystal XI RDC runtime components. Our Crystal reports are edited in CR2008 SP1 developer edition (not through the VB.NET embedded report designer). We have deployed the CRXIRelease 2 runtime components (via the merge module) to our client machines in order to execute the RDC.
We can print/preview/export to excel, but the pdf creation is failing with this error.
We are only using the RDC (which we know is no longer supported) because of huge issues with the Crystal for .NET methods we are having with our customers (I have an active case for this issue). Therefore, we have to rollback our .NET product and revert to the RDC code.
Vista is failing to create a PDF for a report developed in the CR2008 SP1 developer edition when using the RDC.
When you say "Also, those old dll's will not work in CR 2008. Last patches will give you the option to export to Excel in Legacy mode. We built it into our export dll.", what do you mean by "will not work in CR2008"?
Thank you

Hi Abhilash,

I was facing the same issue on one of the local desktops too then i uninstalled the software and installed it again then it was working fine but its not the solution.

If am not wrong, this facility is not available with Crystal Reports!!!
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Export a report though the URL as a PDF with BOOKMARKS

Hi. I would like to export a report though the URL as a PDF with BOOKMARKS.
As recommended in other posts, I updated Crystal Reports XI to Release 2 and I am able to export my report as a PDF with the bookmarks within the Crystal Reports tool.
Is there a way to export my report as a PDF with the bookmarks through the URL ?
Specifically, I would like to know the syntax of the URL to include the bookmarks.
Thanks.

You need to use OpenDocument feature.

Custom grouping in crystal report

I have a requirement of creating a report off BEx query (BI 7.0).
I have database field which gives around 250 rows. Now with these 250 rows I need to create a custom grouping in crystal report having 2 groups and a detail.
Some info about database field: For ex: 'A', 'B' and 'C' are 3 sample rows of the database field. I want to arrange this in such a way that.
A will form Group 1 and B will form group 2 and it is sub group of Group 1. and C is part of Group 2.
A (group 1)
B (Group 2)
C.
But when I tried it it resulted in
A (group 1)
Others
Others (group1)
B(Group 2)
C.
In this method I was successful in creating report if there were only 2 levels. But when it comes to 3rd level i am facing the problem. Any solution from experts.

Hi Raghavendra,
You can create the superset group i.e Group A in ur illustration by choosing Insert -> Group from the pull-down menus and specifying the field name in the panel.
Next, in order to create the subset group i.e Group B and Group C you need to create a formula in the Formula Workshop-Formula Editor like the below syntax:
If <db_field_name> = "<value B>"
OR <db_field_name> = "<value C>"
then "Group B"
This formula can be used as your second group by choosing Insert -> Group from the pull-down menus and specifying this formula name in the panel.
Thanks,
Amogh.

WPF Crystal report throws an exception when user tries to replace a file which is open during export of report.

I am using the latest version of crystal report CRforVS_13_0_10 with Visual Studio 2013.
I am working a WPF application and using the WPF crystalreportviewer control.
The steps to reproduce the exception is ,
1) Create a report.
2) Export report with sample.xls as file name
3) Now open the sample.xls file in Excel
4) Again export the report with sample.xls as file name
5) There is dialog which asks "Do you want to replace existing file sample.xls"
6)Click "Yes"
7) Now the exception will be thrown.
This is System.IO.IOException which is thrown by crystal report when user tries to save the file which is already opened by user. Also there is no event provided to handle Export_click for WPF CrystalReportViewer where I can handle this.

I can replicate the issue. Not sure how we can hook into the System.IO process to capture the exception. I have not played with that part yet...
I created my own export button and wrapped it in a try/catch and this is what I get:
Which is what you would expect rather than a Null Exception error:
We'll have to do more testing to see how or if System IO errors can caught outside of CR.
