Pass a parameter and Export a Crystal Report to PDF using page server?

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to use the SDK  in .Net to pass a parameter to a Crystal report and then export it as a PDF so I can then upload it as an attachment to my application.

I had it working on my local machine using RAS, but it takes 30 seconds to bring back the report.

I was advised to use the page server, but all I can find are examples of people trying to use the page server and failing to pass it parameters. Has anyone managed to use the pageserver to pass a parameter to a Crystal report for export successfully?

Thanks,

Jerome.

Hi Jerome

In order to use PageServer, you will have to have either Business Objects Enterprise or SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.x. E.g. Crystal Reports SDK will not be enough.

There is a sample app that you could have a look at:
