How to output PDF files in a crystal Report

Hello,
I've some data stored in a database, they are PDFs files data.
How can I include them in a report
For example
I've a Table
MyTABLE with 2 Cols (Name STRING, data byte[]) (in fact it's a .NET/DataSet)
I would like to display the content of my table in a CR
I can include a static PDF in my report, but not a variable one.
Can anyone Help Me ?
Thanks
Marc

Something I don't understand here. PDF vs. .NET Dataset.
If the data is in a .NET Dataset; (in fact it's a .NET/DataSet)
Then all you should need to do is;
crReportDocument.Database.Tables(0).SetDataSource(dataSet.Tables("NAME_OF_TABLE"))
or
crReportDocument.SetDataSource(dataSet)
or
crReportDocument.SetDataSource(dataSet.Tables(0))
How the dataset is created or what is behind the dataset should not be of any consequence. To ensure you get the fresh data, either don't enable the "Saved Data" option, or use .Refresh in your code.

Adobe reader problem on viewing PDF file created by crystal report

I have a VB6 application to export the PDF file by using crystal report 9. However, when I viewed the PDF file under Adobe reader 8, I have a following message when I hit the page down key.
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly.
Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."
After hit okay, this message will be gone and I can see the PDF file without problem. However, I don't have this issue when using Adobe reader 5 or 6 version.
If I crystal report 11 version to export the PDF, everything works fine also but our production machine can only use crystal report version 9, not 11.
Anyone have idea?? Thx!

Sounds as if there is a bug in the older version of Crystal reports.
If you are prevented from installing fixes for bugs, you may well be
stuck with the effect of the bug.

How to print pdf file in SQL Server Reporting services report using command prompt?

Is there a way to automatically print a SQL Server Reporting services report on command prompt? For eg: We can save a pdf file using rs.exe utility. I want to print a pdf using rs.exe utility. Is it possible? I don't want to install any 3rd party software.

Thanks Simon for replying to my question.
In oracle form, there is oracle command to print the report from command prompt with the help of rwrun.exe
e.g: rwrun.exe REPORT="D:\Test\REP_25\MLA.REP" DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER" P_FORMNAME="MLA.FMX" P_SPRACHE="E" P_SPRACHE_NR2="1" P_WHERE_BEDINGUNG="order by land_nr" USERID="test/test.world" PSV_NAME="PSV_DEMO" PSV_JOB_ID="PS$9583" RECURSIVE_LOAD="NO"
BATCH="YES" NONBLOCKSQL="NO" ARRAYSIZE="1" PARAMFORM="NO" ERRFILE="c:\temp\psv16.tmp"<
and to save the report we just need to change DESNAME="c:\temp\OC_100001349.pdf" DESTYPE="FILE" in above command instead of DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER".
DESNAME and DESTYPE are the input parameters of the respective report.
In SSRS, we can run the file from the command prompt and save it.
rs -i "C:\Users\pujarswa\Documents\reports\new\LoadReport.rss" -s ww2004760:80/ReportServer_MSSQL -v fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"
-v reportPath="/TipsReport/LoadListTabular" -t -v format="PDF" -v LandNr=4 -u ap\swati -p test@# -e Exec2005
But we cannot use same command for printing as you said we need to create another script for printing files.
I have gone through the links but I dont want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader exe for printing because client it may not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on their machine.
Also I want to pass a input parameter as type="Printer" to my report which will print directly for me and same I can acheive in command prompt passing type="Printer" fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"

How to open .dbf Files (xBase) in Crystal Report V14?

Hey,
I try to open a .DBF File (XBASE) with SAP Crystal Report V14. As result an error message appears: "Datenbank-Connector-Fehler: " followed by a lot of chinese signs. What can I do? Opening the same File with Crystal Report V10 worked fine. --> File Attached
Thanks for your help,
Harry

Hey,
thanks for your fast response.
I don't know which driver it's using. I just try to open it the same type as in the V10.
If I open the .dbf file through the 'database expert' dialogue - "database file" this error appears:
to translate it for you to englisch, there's written: Error during opening the database information. Details: No database connector is specified.

Harry

How to remove the extra space in the output pdf file?

Hi All
In our RTF layout template we have both static content and dynamic content.
In RTF template we have used many if-else,choose,For each loops.
On the account of that,In the output pdf file, we are getting lot of empty space in the place of that coding(if-else,choose,For each loops).
Is there anyway to reduce the space in the output pdf file?
Please suggest some ideas.
Thanks in Advance.

White space is NOT your friend!
Make sure you don't have any unwanted whitespace between commands and especially tagged on the end of lines. Chain your commands together with no whitespace and let them wrap, do not enter carriage returns.
Cheers,
Dave

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

How to move PDF file from Spool to Application Server?

How to move PDF file from Spool to Application Server?
Cannot use RSTXPDFT4 because that converts OTF to PDF and the file is already PDF.
RSTXPDFT5 doesn't work. It picks the file up and assigns it a 'text' type and outputs a 1 line txt (1kb in size) on the server with the spool number in it!
The program which outputs the file to the spool, in the first place, uses adobe forms and outputs to a printer of type PDF.

Hi Gemini ,
Please refer the below links.

You can't really.
You need to use DHTML in the swf-wrapper HTML file, usually a
