    VB6 and CrystalReports 8; Export Question.

    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.

    Welcome to the Forums.

    8.5 has the .ExportToDiskFile but not sure about 8.0.
    Are you using the SetrExportType first before using the .Export method?

    Re: VB6 and CrystalReports 8; Export Question.

    Thanks for your kind reply. I have access to 8.5, but this particular app is using 8.0 and AFAIK, I have to leave it that way.

    I'm trying to set .PrintFileType as .ExportToDiskFile does not appear to be a property.

    Any ideas would be great. Thanks.
