Hyperlinked report opening in Firefox from Crystal Report being viewed in IE

Post Author: sueb
CA Forum: General
A user has both Firefox and IE on his machine. A hyperlinked report opens in Firefox when the main report is being viewed in IE. Default browser is set to IE. Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks! sueb

You can change the application that handles your PDFs here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
After the list loads, you can type pdf in the search box there to filter the list. Change the handler using the drop-down on the right side.
Does it work?

How do I get a website to open on firefox from my email?

I have Internet Explorer. I just downloaded Firefox. An online store that I shop at regularly sends me emails. When I click on their link from my email it takes me to their site through Internet Explorer. How do I get the link from my email to open through Firefox?

Usually links in other applications* will open web pages in your default web browser. To have Firefox make itself your default web browser -- if it doesn't ask you when you start it up -- you can follow the steps in this article: [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]].
Does Windows comply or resist the change?
''*'' Just to clarify: applications other than a browser, which handles links on its own.

Saving PDF files after opening in Firefox from the web?

When I open a PDF file from my credit union it displays as an HTML document. When I try and save it, it also is an HTML without an option to save it as PDF. IE works fine in this situation. I have selected to open the PDF file in a separate Adobe X window but does not do so.

@masood131 - A few questions:
Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

How do I create a hyperlink to open a document in a new window?

My operating systems is: Windows 7
Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI
I have created a user guide in MS Word 2013 which contains hyperlinks to other documents.
I print to PDF but the hyperlinks are no longer accessible as they are converted to text once the guide is turned into a PDF.
Adobe Tools has a Add or Edit Link tool; I have tried several times to create a link using this tool with no success.
The documents I am trying to open are located on a intranet sharepoint site.
Please help if you know how to add a hyperlink to open a document from a weblink.
Thank you

Of course.....
Yes I entered the correct URL however once I click on the link in the PDF nothing happens.
The only change to PDF is a pretty blue box surrounding what should be the hyperlink.
Any other helpful suggest that are not the obivious?

Error running reports from Crystal Server XI R2 with datasets

Hi, sorry if my english is not good. I'm from Spain.
I have a problem. I'm programming with Visual Basic .NET 2008.
I'm using Crystal Reports Server and programming under Visual Basic to take reports from crystal Server, changing the tables from the report to datasets and scheduling this report.
Crystal server change connections to CrystalReports.Dataset.
Preview reports from server sends me an error "DataBase connector unknown"
If I run this report (with datasets) into my VBNET application (into a CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control), IT WORKS!!!
I need help because I need to schedule these reports (to send them by email, export to PDF formats, ...)

Reporting off of a dataset is reporting off of a disconnected datasource. The reason your application works is beacuse you most likely populating a dataset in your application and passing it to the report at the same time. When scheduling, there is no interaction with the report so unless the report is using an xml file on disk as its datasource, how can it retrieve data?
To get around this, you can build a dll (.net data provider) that returns either a dataset or datatable and point your report to this dll. this way, when the report is executed, it loads the dll which fetches the data for you.
- so the first step is to compile a dll that returns a dataset or datatable.
- to design your report off of this dll open the database expert and create a new ADO.NET connection.
- in the File Path area, click the ellipsis ("...") button to browse to your dll and make sure the selected File Type is ".Net DataSet Provider".
- once the dll is selected, you can choose the dataset/table returned by the dll.
If your method in the dll is parameterized, it will add a parameter to the report (similar to stored procedure parameters.
note: the location of your dll must be in the same path on the CR Server as it was when you designed your report in order for it to be loaded correctly. I usually put the dll in a folder that I know will exist on both machines.

Open a file from oracle report

Hi everyone,
I need your help, i have a report and there is a field which is the location of a file. the report is generated in pdf and the location of the file is a link and user can click on it. But when the report and files related to the links are copied in another location, the links in the report do not open the file, is there a way to have like a dynamic process, so if the report and the files location change, link can continue to open the file in current location.
I hope you can understand my problem
Thanks.

If your LINK is fixed, it may open from other location. BUT as per my knowledge NOT POSSIBLE.

How to print directly to Printer from Crystal Report Viewer ?

Hi All,
We are integrating our Java Web Application with Crystal report XI, currently using JRC and export to PDF for user to preview and print to local printer.
Now there is new requirement :
Some clients is using thin client terminal (no harddisk, only has OS +Browser in ROM), so I cannot install Acrobat Reader for them to preview&print the report.
So I am looking at Crystal Report Viewer, the question is : Can I print from Crystal Report Viewer directly to local printer without first converting it to PDF (because I can't have acrobat reader installed) ??
Thank you very much,
Krist

Hi,
It can't be achieved through XI.
JRCXI R2 SDK offers the ability to print the report server side
using the PrintOutputController using printReport(PrintReportOptions printReportOptions) method.
Here is the code(for XIR2):
import="com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.*"
import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.*"
import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.document.*"
try {
final String REPORT_NAME = "Inventory.rpt";
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);
//Create and set print options.
PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
//Note: Printer with the 'printer name' below must already be configured.
printOptions.setPrinterName("
10.10.45.220
BOBJ 2C");
printOptions.setJobTitle("Sample Print Job from JRC.");
printOptions.setPrinterDuplex(PrinterDuplex.horizontal);
printOptions.setPaperSource(PaperSource.auto);
printOptions.setPaperSize(PaperSize.paperLetter);
printOptions.setNumberOfCopies(1);
printOptions.setCollated(false);
PrintReportOptions.PageRange printPageRange = new PrintReportOptions.PageRange(1,1);
printOptions.addPrinterPageRange(printPageRange);
//NOTE: If parameters or database login credentials are required, they need to be set before.
//calling the printReport() method of the PrintOutputController.
reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
reportClientDoc.close();
out.println("Successfully sent report to the printer.");
catch(ReportSDKException ex) {
out.println(ex);
Please revert in case you have any query.

From Crystal report XI R2 files to Crsytal Report 2008 files

Hi All,
Can I convert from Crystal report XI R2 files to Crsytal Report 2008 files?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Manjunath N Jogin

Hi,
Here are a few more facts about up gradation to CR 2008.
1)     Crystal Reports should be the same version of the Enterprise: for instance if reports are created with CR XI R2, the Enterprise version should be BOE XI R2; CR2008 will not be compatible with BOXI R2 Enterprise.
2)     More versions of CR can be installed in the same machines; please note that the versions should be installed following the order from the oldest version to the latest one in order to avoid conflicts. For instance, you may install CR X first, then CR XI, then XI R2 and then CR 2008;
3)     The reports created with CR XI can be opened with CR 2008.
4)     And the reports created with CR 2008 can be opened with CR XI; however if the reports contain any features which are not available with the previous version, these may not be supported; For instance Flash objects which can be used with CR2008 would not be supported by CR XI R2.
5)     The report definition defines the version with witch the report is created. The report definition information is available from u2018Reportu2019 menu/u2019Performance Informationu2019.
Hope this would be helpful.

Upgrading a Report from Crystal Reports 10 to Crystal Reports 11

Post Author: Chakradhar
CA Forum: Upgrade to XI 3.0
HI All,
Please provide a solution for this..
Is there any way to change the version of a report without redesigning the report?
If we upgrade the report without redisign, dont we lose the special features of the new version.
Actually i want to the change from Crystal Reports 10 to Crystal Reports 11.

Hi Chakradhar,
You can open an older version of the report in a new version of designer and just saving it again will automatically convert the version to the new version. To utilized new features you must modify the report and add the new features.

Can't Print Landscape from Crystal Reports Viewer XI

Post Author: conrad
CA Forum: General
Product: Crystal Reports Viewer XI, version 12.0.0.r130_v20070725 and
Crystal Reports XI, version 11.0.0.1282
Patches Applied: none
Operating System(s): XP Pro SP2
Database(s):
Error Messages: noneSteps to Reproduce:
Download and install Crystal Reports Viewer XI
Open a Crystal Report that prints landscape.
Save report with data.
Open that report with Crystal Reports Viewer XI. Report will display landscape.
Click Print..OK
Viewer will attempt to scale output to fit on portrait paper, with varying degrees of success.
Checking the properties of the report from Viewer (File...Report Properties...) shows a "Page Orientation" of "Landscape" and a message "Page Orientation and size defined by the application (no page information set by report author)."
Any ideas on how to get the report to print landscape? It prints that way from Crystal Reports XI.

Hello Glenda,
as you refer to the legacy technology I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,

Extracting SQL Queries from Crystal Reports

I am trying to find a way or a utility to be able extract SQL queries from Crystal reports into a text file for documentation purposes. These queries are not in the repository, they were entered into each of the reports when the reports were being built and I can't find a way to extract them. Any ideas/suggestions?

Hello,
CR doesn't have the ability, and I don't recall if this has ever been asked previously. Great suggestion for the Idea Place tab in the up right corner of this page.
If you find a developer it's quite simple to get:
            // log onto the server and then get the SQL.
            rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.LogonEx("van-w-13-dwilli", "xtreme", "sa", "pw");
            GroupPath gp = new GroupPath();
            string tmp = String.Empty;
            rptClientDoc.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp, out tmp);
            // show the SQL but easy enough to save the SQL text to a file.
            MessageBox.Show(tmp, "Data Source Set and SQL Statement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Of course you need to open the report first, lots of samples on how to...
Thank you
