Hi All,
I would like to ask, is there anyway for us to change the PDF security setting that created by crystal report? We ussualy see the security setting in PDF documents settintg.
Thanks!

You would need to program that step yourself or use a 3rd-party Report Managers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html (I know at least one of them provides that functionality).

Permissions - Viewing PDF Instances of a Crystal Report

I have the following registered and installed products.
Crystal Server V1
Crystal Reports V1
I have a number of crystal reports setup to schedule to create a pdf output instance.
I am trying to allow specific Active Directory Groups access to view the PDF instances of the Crystal report. The users are only allowed access to view the PDF instance not the Crystal report. The users will view the pdf instance within InfoView.
Can someone please let me know the correct path, as I have been through the permissions and have set everything to allow and the report nor the pdf's show.
Thanks for your assistance.
Regards

Does not look like you are using this in a .NET app at all(?). That being the case, you're in the wrong forum. And if this a high priority, having BOE you should have phone support. I suggest you contact support via phone. Else, you can create a case here;

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 do you set the Crystal Report Viewer Printer to Duplex

Using the code below I can print in duplex mode, but this does not let me view a report before printing
How do I set the Printer in the Viewer Control Bar of the Crystal Report Viewer to Duplex Printing programmatically rather than having to manually select Duplex through the preferences option?
I have searched but the only example code I found produces errors in the code and will not run
Private myReport As ReportDocument
myReport = New ReportDocument()
myReport.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA4
myReport.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait
myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex. Vertical
myReport.PrintToPrinter(3, False, 0, 0)
In my VB6 Project that I am converting to VB.NET when I added Report.PrinterDuplex = crPRDPVertical, this allowed me to view the report and then print with Duplex without having to set the Print Preferences manualy
I found 1386475 - How to set printer name and print job title at runtime using Report Application Server SDK for Visual Studio .NET
But this causes errors
Imports CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc
Imports CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers
Dim boReportClientDocument As ISCDReportClientDocument
Dim boPrintOutputController As PrintOutputController
Dim boPrintReportOptions As New PrintReportOptions

Error in setting datasource - Crystal reports

I am currently experiencing a problem with setting my datasource to a report in Crystal Reports.
Strangely, the report works in VS 2010, but when running as an executable, the program fails when assigning the datasource.

What version fo CR you are using, what service pack?
What CR components are installed on the client machine for deployment?
When using datasets to pass the data to Crystal reports, the issue occurs due to datasets in 50% of cases.
What exact error do you get?
Could you try below steps which would tell you if its an issue with Crystal or with getting data into datasets.
- Once the data is populated in the dataset and before doing a "objRpt.SetDataSource(datas.Tables(0))", write the data to a datagrid.
- While deploying the EXE, you could observe the datagrid to check fi the datasets do return some data.
This may not be a Crystal issue.
if you get the data in the datagrid and not in the report then do a 'ds.writeXml("XMLfilepath.xml")'. this will generate the XML file with the data from the dataset. the open the report indeaigner and try to assign the XMl to the report and see if the report works in thed esigner.

No Hyperlink in PDF after export from Crystal Reports 2008 SP2

When I export a report from Crystal Reports 2008 Developer (as well as from the runtime) SP2 to PDF the Hyperlink to a file on hard disk is missing.

PDF Export Output in Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI

Hi -- First post here, so forgive newbish behavior (at least for today)Quick question:Why does my output differ (margins and image size) for the same report exported to PDF via Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI? It's the same report with the same data and same design. When XI is compared to 10, the output in XI seems to remove an extra 1/4-inch on the left, right, top, and bottom margins and makes my images shrink by about a factor of 25%.While not the end of the world, it would be nice to get an explanation as to why this happens.Thanks in advance,Amasis

Â I personally haven't noticed that myself but I'm sure it will have been reported to Customer Care if it's a more persistent issue.Â Have you tried looking this up in the Knowledge Base?

Embedding DOC's and PDF's dynamically in Crystal Reports

Hi,
Is there a way to embedd PDF/word documents dynamically into the Crystal Reports. I do understand we can do that for Images using 'Graphic Lcoation' option but that feature wont work with word docs and Pdf's.
Please let me know if there is any 3rd party utility tool that makes it happen or Can it be coded using any codes like VB/C#/Java etc.
I have posted this question in Crystal reports as well. But I want to know if it is programatically possible using Java SDK or not.
Thanks

I don't think you can embedd a pdf or word document in the crystal report. The only alternative I think of is:
add a text object to the report. Right click > Format Text > hyperlink tab > select Hyperlink type as a file and use browse to specify the pdf or word file on disk or network location the file you want to open. So it will open the pdf or word upon clicking the link.
This can be done at runtime only using Report Application Server SDK and not Crystal Reports for Java.

Cannot implment security setting on the report level - SSRS 2012

Hi All:
I am having a weird problem on my SSRS 2012 reporting portal, I cannot click any of the drop down list like the example below. Is there anything from the setting?
It is not only about the reporting level, any arrow on the reporting server, like data source, are kind of dead as well.
Please kindly help and thanks in advance.
Cheers
Johnny

Hi JohnnyKahWang,
According to your description, you can view folders and reports on report manager, but you could not click any of the drop down list.
Reporting Services uses role-based security to grant user access to a report server, and there are two types of roles: Item-level roles and System-level roles. Access to reports, folders, models, shared data sources, and resources is controlled through item-level
role assignments. Each user who requires access to a report server must have at least one item-level role assignment. On a new installation, only local administrators have access to a report server. In this case, a local administrator need to create a role
assignment which has Manage folders and Manage reports task to the account by following steps:
Click Home at the top of the page to open the Report Manager home page.
Click the drop-down arrow next to the folders and reports.
Click New Role Assignment.
In Group or user name, specify the name of a group or account.
Select a role which can perform Manage folders and Manage reports tasks.
Click OK to save the role assignments.
For more information about Setting Item-Level Permissions on a Report Server, please refer to the following document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337471(v=sql.105).aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

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.

Using Keyboard keys in Fields setting in Crystal Report Design ?

Hi Experts
I want to know that how can I change text object or a field size or position by keyboard. sometimes it works and sometimes not. What is the setting for using keyboard.
Thanks
Regards
Gorge

Keyboard keys will only work under certain modes in CR. You have to check the mode constantly to see in which ways they work. There are too many conditions may cause them not work. That list could be too long to find them all. You would have a good grasp on the rule after you familiar with them.
Thanks,

Problems printing pdfs generated by Crystal Reports X

The printers in our office area were recently upgraded to Xerox Work Centre 5632 printers using Managed Print Service. We are now having issues printing reports from within the application to any of these newly defined printers. The Arial font, which is commonly used on the majority of our report templates, is displaying as a series of squares with readable letters or numbers thrown in randomly. I don't know if the issue is limited to Arial, or if other fonts behave similarly. I have tried to print several different reports to several different print servers and printer combinations, all with the same result. When viewing the report online, or saving as PDF and viewing, it looks fine. If we save the report as a PDF, then select "print as an image" (on the advanced tab of the print menu), the report will print correctly.
Is there any way to either change the report design or a setting in Crystal Reports to prevent this from happening ? This problem did not occur when using a different printer.

This is not a Crystal Reports issue. It is a printer (or printer driver) issue. Does the printer support Arial font???
HTH,
Carl
