Exporting to PDF from rpt file and charts within not exported properly

Question

I am having issues when export .rpt file to pdf report using crystal report java. When exporting from Crystal Report, it displays the charts and boarders properly but when exporting using Java application the back ground colors and boarders disappears or fades. It makes the report look unprofessional. I am using version 2.0.
Looking at this release note  at  the this link (http://www.businessobjects.com/products/dev_zone/eclipse/cr4e-updates-readme.pdf )  I see a reference to "JRC SDK RTF exporting is not consistent with CR RTF exporting" has been fixed in Release Update 8. I tried the latest release but it seems it has release update 4 only. So, my question is where do I get Release update 8? I am hoping that will fix my issue or if anybody has any suggestions that will help me resolve it. If you can reply at your earliest, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Here is snippet of code how I am exporting rpt file to pdf file. I didn't include every code here but I am hoping this will give you the idea. Please let me know if you need more info.
public byte[] runReport(RPTParameters para) throws SQLException {
byte[] reportData = null;
ReportClientDocument reportClientDocument = null;
try {               
     reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
     reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
     reportClientDocument.open(ReportDataConstants.CPS_RPT_FILE, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
     ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();               
     PDFExportFormatOptions pdfOptions = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
     exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
     exportOptions.setFormatOptions(pdfOptions);
     ParameterFieldController paramFieldController = reportClientDocument.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();               
     paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "@ba", para.getBusinessAgreement());
     paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "ReportMonth", para.getMonth());
     paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "ReportYear", para.getYear());
     InputStream reportInputStream = reportClientDocument.getPrintOutputController().export(exportOptions);     
     reportData = new byte <reportInputStream.available()>;
     reportInputStream.read(reportData);
catch (ReportSDKException e) {
finally {
return reportData;
