Printing Crystal reports into adobe-hyperlinks arent getting created

We use a third party program, iMIS to print confirmations. These confirmations are created in Crystal Reports. When i print these documents to adobe not all hyperlinks are coded.
If i export the document to word then print that document into adobe it has the embedded hyperlinks. (But this way entails alot of extra steps to create, and no normal user will want to do this)
Is there anyway i can get the embedded hyperlinks to print straight into adobe? (without having to do the many extra steps it takes to export to word then to adobe)
(it is very frustrating, b/c i am the one that created these 'cool' reports but no one is getting the information.)

If Crystal Reports supports creation of a PDF with PDF Link annotations it will be discussed in the Crystal Reports Support/User documentation. If it is not supported then you'll have to accept the Crystal Reports limitation and continue with the "2-step" shuffle.
At its core the issue is with Crystal Reports rather than PDF or Acrobat.
Be well...

Can I print Crystal report in Adobe by just hitting print??

Hello All,
I have my saved my report in Infoview (BO) and if I hit print it asks me to install
u201CCrystal report print control u201Csoftware.
And if I choose export option it gives me few options and I can then print.
Now my question is, is it possible to print the report in adobe once I hit print? Can that be done as default settings??
Thanks

Hi,
Check if any Printers are installed on the server side?
What are your printer drivers installed on your local machine?
Thanks,
Naveen.

Error message when trying to view/print Crystal reports in B1

I get the following Error message when trying to view/print crystal reports in SAP B1/Crystal Reports Integration Tool for SAP Business One:
" Could not load file or assembly 'Crystal Decisions Windows Forms, version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, Public Key Token=692fbea551e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. ????

Hi
Common issues for this :
1. Once you install crystall add on ,you need to go to Crystal report Administration >Account setup .
Put on the user name and password and click on creating ext tables
Try then running the report .
If not the case ,
make sure you install runtime .
You need :
1.Crystal report basic from SAP download -(Not necessary if you want only report viewer >
2.You need to have crystal integration addon (I think service pack is SP1)
3.Make sure you have runtime install
When you are installing ,make sure you restart your PC before you do or remove temporary file s
Hope this solves your issue

Printing Crystal reports via Great Plains 10

Hi,
I am unable to print (to printer) crystal reports in Great Plains 10. I can preview the report, export and print the exported file but the Print button does not respond when I click it (no errors, nothing) in the Crystal preview screen. We are using Crystal XI, Developers Kit.
I have set the report to 'No Printer', verified that I can print other files from the server, verified the default printer and I have spokes to GP (Microsoft), nothing has helped with this issue.
OS:
MS Windows Server 2003
Standard Edition
SP1
Thanks,

Hi Carolyn,
Great Plains is an OEM partner of ours and they MUST resolve this issue for you. If they can not figure out what the problem is they can create a case on line to get help from Support to help you.
Not sure if you have Crystal Reports Designer or not but if you do can you print from the Designer? If you can then it's an issue in Great Plains software.
Thank you
Don

Integrating crystal report into the visual studio standard edition IDE

I have visual studio 2005 standard edition. I need to upgrade some asp.net reports that were done using visual studio 2003.
I have just install Crystal Reports XI developer edition version 11.0.0.1282. How can I integrate Crystal into the Visual Studio 2005 IDE?

Hi
I would like to inform you that VS 2005 is only compatible with CR XI R2 and CR 2008.
Have look in supported platform guide:
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/bosap-support
You need to upgrade CRXI to CRXIR2 then try to solve this issue.
To download the CR XI R2 follow the instructions given below:-
Crystal Reports XI is installed on your computer. You need to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI for one of the following reasons:
u2022 To verify that all Crystal Reports XI components have been completely removed prior to installing a later version of Crystal Reports.
u2022 To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
u2022 To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the Setup.exe file from Crystal Reports XI installation CD.
How do you manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI?
Resolution
Before getting started, uninstall Crystal Reports XI by launching the Setup.exe file from the installation CD or by using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command. If either of these methods fails to remove all Crystal Reports directories, files and registry keys, then continue with the resolution of this article.
==========
WARNING:
This resolution can be applied if Crystal Reports XI is the only software installed on the computer that uses the Business Objects directories, files and registry keys.
For example, Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI are applications that may share the same directories, files and registry keys.
Removing these directories, files and registry keys may cause other software to function incorrectly.
==========
1. To manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI, delete the following directories:
u2022 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0
u2022 C:\Program Files\Business Objects
====================
NOTE:
Do not remove the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 if you have BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI installed. These files are shared by both applications and removal of these files will cause Business ObjectsEnterprise XI and Crystal Reports Server XI to function incorrectly.
====================
2. Delete the following registry keys:
====================
WARNING:
The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
HELP:
For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
RECOMMENDATION:
It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
====================
u2022 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects
u2022 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects
u2022 HKEY_USERS\S-#-#-##-...-####\Software\Business Objects
(The number signs (#) represent a series of numbers that are different on each computer.)
====================
NOTE:
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
After deleting the CR XI from the system install the CR XI R2 full build and provide the same key as you provided in CR XI.
URL to download CR XI R2 is: - http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2
Click on
Service Pack 2 - Full build - ZIP - 1.03 GB - released April 2007
I would suggest to use the latest service pack of CR XI R2 i.e. Service Pack 4.
to download SP4 click [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2].
Note:- before installing SP4 - you must have installed CR XI R2 SP2
Hope this helps!!

When Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled, using the ActiveX control to print reports from a Crystal 10 DHTML viewer results in the following error message:
"A communication error occurred, printing will be stopped."
How can this error message be resolved?
Resolution
This is a known issue with Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Enterprise 10 viewers and has been tracked. The Track ID is ADAPT00282199.
This error occurs due to the receiving application performing a case-sensitive check for the HTTPS request header value "ON". When a sender application sends the value as "on" in lower case, the error occurs. The update below changes the receiving application to be case-insensitive.
Hot Fixes or Service Packs address this issue as indicated below. With the updates, this issue is resolved.
Unless indicated otherwise, Weekly Hot Fix updates from our FTP site have only been tested with English versions of products.

Print crystal report in A5 paper tray

Dear Experts,
I am using VB.NET
We have different printers like "Lexmark Optra T612_DB", "HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v4.7)", etc., in the network, there will be 2 or more trays for each printer. One of the tray has A5 paper in it. While printing Crystal report,
1. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present?
2. How to select A5 paper tray for printing?
If the above 2 are not possible with crystal report object:
1. How to print crystal report using PrintDocument object?
2. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present using PrintDocument object?
3. How to select A5 paper tray for printing? using PrintDocument object?
Currently with the following lines of .NET code, it is always printing in Tray 2
report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA5;
report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
Regards,
Eswar

Unfortunately, it will be up to you to find out what tray the correct paper size is in, then set that to the report. The CR APIs do not look up these values, they just expect you to know these and set them.

Crystal reports and adobe workflows server

Hi,
Is there a way to integrate crystal reports and adobe workflow server
Regards
Raja

I believe AWS 6.2 supports Crystal Rpt 8.5, but don't hold be to it.
The AWS appl. does come with prebuilt reports incl. You should check the documentation concerning installation, but I believe AWS requires the Crystal Engine to be installed on the same server as the AWS Web Access component.

I need to create a dashboard. How do you bring Crystal Reports into Excel?

Hello,
I need to create a dashboard. My boss wants a spreadsheet to show multiple reports and charts about the business. I know you can insert multiple charts in Excel. However, I need to be able to insert a report next to one of the charts.
I am thinking of using the RDC and bring in a Crystal Report. The problem is that I see with Crystal Reports 2008, you can't use RDC.
Is there an upgrade to RDC? How do I bring the Crystal Report into Excel next to the imbeddged charts. I know I can export a Crystal Report to Excel. But that Exports to a entire spreadsheet. I just want to embed a Crystal Report into Excel. The last time I did a project like this, I used to use the RDC with the same code as in VB6. Worked great.
How do you embed a Crystal Reports now?
Thanks.

The question was how do you do it?
I don't have .NET. However, if that is the only way, then I can buy .NET.
I just need someone that knows how to do it to point me in the right direction. To embed something in Excel, I hadn't thought of using .NET.

Migration of Crystals Reports into OBIEE

Hi,
I have to migrate Crystal Reports into OBIEE without using any third party tool.
How could it be done..any one can help me please...???

Just follow the instructions bellow:-
Reports generated automatically in the 7.5 Excel client that use the EVDRE function with a standard use of built-in parameters can be converted using the EPM add-in to a native 10.0 report.
EVDRE migration has been developed in order to migrate as many features and use cases as possible, but reports that have been heavily customized may not be totally converted automatically and may require some manual modifications. Nevertheless, the objective of the migration is to provide usable reports at the end of the migration. The exact conditions include:
o Multiple EVDRE reports in a complex arrangement or sharing some KeyRanges
o Formulas to calculate parameters
o Use of cell reference indirections to determine EVDRE parameters.
o Use of VBA to call the internal object model of the 7.5 Excel client.
o EVDRE inserted in another EVDRE.

Printing Crystal report using Generic Text output - formating lost

Hi. I have an accounting system using Crystal to generate it's business forms, in particular invoicing as reports. Recently we have installed new printing system that needs generic text to capture and create the business forms (invoices) into a graphic and text. When Crystal sends data to Generic Text Printer, you can view it ok as a preview but it moves text around , bunches it up and formatting is never the same for two documents. I need resolution as the printing software needs fixed text in a specific location within the data file. Is there a way in Crystal to format fields so they dont move the data and bunch it up. The business forms written in Crystal have sub reports that are supressed if no data is to be printed, but finding text is moving and hard to capture a fixed location in text file. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,
Thank you for your responses.
Yes, I'm using a bundled version that came with VS 2005.
I'd love to download this update, but I cannot get there! I don't have an login and password for this site, and I don't know how to get them.
This is all I'd found about this issue in this thread:
http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=844
"I opened an incident with Business Objects. They said there is not a way to do what we want to do with the Crystal Reports for .NET assemblies. They are going to implement a way to create a postscript file and include it in Service Pack 3 of Crystal XI Release 2. They would not say how the postscript will be created (ie, ExportToDisk or any other method), only that they would include it in CRXI Release 2 SP3 which they intend to release sometime this coming winter. "
"Just an update...this has been fixed in Crystal XI Release 2 Service Pack 3.
I just finished testing, and it now allows you to print to a file without prompting the user. We are now able to create a postscript file."
Thanks,
Peter
