Hello Everybody,

I have been attempting to download a sample report from Crystal Report server in PDF format but in complete vain.

I'm using Ruby in Ubuntu and Ruby SOAP library to accomplish this.

I have no idea whether there exists any crystal report API which allows downloading of report in PDF format via web services (assumption : .rpt file ie the actual crystal report file whose pdf version i'm trying to download is available on the server ie CMS).

Can anybody tell me whether there is any way of doing this?

Lots of thanks in advance.Please help me out in this.

There are several interfaces into Crystal - COM, .NET, and Java.  You can find more info about the XI Java report components here:

(Select  Java Reporting Component SDK.)
 
For Crystal 2008 you'll have to go to the Diamond Developer Site here:
