Hello. I am working on a legacy VB6 app that uses CrystalReports 8 for reporting. This version of CR allows the user to Export to Adobe PDF. Works like a charm.

However, I want to automate the process (e.g. create the file in a pre-defined folder with a pre-defined filename). For some reason, PDF isn't an option with the PrintFileType property. Every other available export type is.

Has anyone experienced this too? Is there a work around? Googling didn't turn up much other than a reference to need to download a patch called scr8-pdfexportdriver.zip; of which I cannot locate.

I could kludge one with a free PDF writer, but I would really rather not unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks all for your help.
