hello everyone,

there are no resources to help me so i'm asking on this forum.
i have crystal reports 8.5 developer edition
i have visual c# express and .net 2 final release
i started a new windows application and i need help programming with the
crystal reports. there examples are for earlier versions of visual
studio and there are no explanations for anything. all i want to do is
export the report to a pdf and then manipulate the pdf file. does anyone
know of any resources or tutorials that can help.

everything i have found is for newer versions of crystal.

is what you would like to have.

I think I found a TK article on BO site. Here is the code:

Private Sub ExportReport()
Dim crReportDocument As ReportDocument
Dim crExportOptions As ExportOptions
Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions
Dim Fname As String
Dim InputFileName As String = "SNReport.rpt"
Dim InputPath As String = gsExportPath & "\Reports\"
Dim OutputPath As String = gsExportPath & "\Output\"
Dim InputFilePath As String = InputPath & InputFileName

Try
crReportDocument = New ReportDocument
crReportDocument.Load(InputFilePath)
Fname = OutputPath & gsJobNumber & "_" & Format(Today.Month,
"00") & Format(Today.Day, "00") & Today.Year & ".pdf"
gsImportFilename = InputFilePath
Dim pv_Date As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues
Dim pdv_DateRange As New
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue

pdv_DateRange.Value = gsProductNumber
pv_Date.Add(pdv_DateRange)

crReportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields("Product").ApplyCurrentValues(pv_Date)
Dim diskFile_Report As New
CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions
diskFile_Report.DiskFileName = Fname
crReportDocument.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType =
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
crReportDocument.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType =
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
crReportDocument.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions =
diskFile_Report
crReportDocument.Export()

Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(Err.Description, MsgBoxStyle.Information, "ExportReport")
End Try
End Sub
