In order to export Crystal Reports to PDF you have to write some code in an ActiveX script task. I must say that it's not so simple, since I had to do it myself too. I set up a small utility to perform this task. You can find it attached here.
The zip contains 3 files:
RPTExport.dll
PDFExport.exe
PDFExport.ini
To make it work:
1) register RPTExport.dll (run "regsvr32 RPTExport.dll")
2) edit PDFExport.ini and set up your connection properties
3) run PDFExport.exe with appropriate parameters
SYNTAX:
--------------------------------
PDFexport reportFile=file
exportFile=file
[selectionFormula=formula]
[param=paramName;paramValue;{True|False}]
...
[param=paramName;paramValue;{True|False}]
ARGUMENTS:
---------------------------------
reportFile Path to report (file .rpt)
exportFile Path to export File
selectionFormula Selection formula
param Report parameter
Usually I don't run binary code from people I don't know, so I won't be surprise if you don't like the idea of running mine. If you want I can provide the full source code (Visual Basic 6).
Hope this helps
