Everything is working fine on my laptop in development mode. I am using the crystalreportviewer and have the PrintMode set to Pdf. When I click the printer icon on the toolbar a window pops up giving me the option to print all pages or select a range of pages to print. When I click okay in this window, a pdf version of the report is generated and I am then able to print from that.
However, I have now deployed the application on our development webserver and everything appears to be working the same, EXCEPT that when I click the OK button on the popup window, nothing happens...no click...no pdf version of the report...no nothing.
 Did I miss something? Is there a setting on the server that needs to be changed? Is something locally preventing the server from sending the PDF version to my local browser? Does Adobe Acrobat Reader need to be installed on the webserver?
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. I am ready for final testing and this is critical functionality needed to move forward with the application. I know I could set the print mode to ActiveX, but I really don't want to do that if I don't have to.

 Found the answer to the problem. The export.js file needs to be manually editted. Here is the link to the document that provides the answer:

I deployed my application in webserver using crystal reports runtime merge module. Everything works fine except "crystal reports print to pdf is not working"
I was showing only print option from CrystalReportViewer1 "DisplayToolbar" , I mean... crystal repport is displaying report properly on server. and also displaying print button.
When i press print button it will display print popup dailog box and it contains display options to print "All" or pages and "OK" button. Until here its workinh fine.
when i press "OK" button crystal reports automatically disply report in PDF format for printing a report.
BUT
I am getting error message when i click on "OK" button.
its working fine from local system but it was not working from webserver.

Hi there, did you ever get your export working. I have written an application using Delphi that produces a Win32 app and this works well with CR. When I run the export to pdf option from my development system it works, however when run from our Terminal Server the export doesn;'t - in fact by adding the appropriate message lines to the exe you can see that it's the call to export that doesn't do anything. Do you think I'm missing a relevant dll or have you found another cure? Many thanks David ------------- David Smith |

| I do this almost daily. I use a http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/vb-net-imaging/pdf-processing/ - PDF processing programme . Install it and it becomes a selectable http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/vb-net-imaging/pdf-print/ - printer option . Now you can create PDFs in any program at all, including Adobe Acrobat reader! Just open a PDF, select print, and specify the page range you want to print and select the Raster edge printer driver. |
