Re: crystal report print to file

i'm not sure which report object you are using - adobe com control I assume
?
I am using the .NET CrystalReports ReportDocument which does not expose
Driver or Port properties.

After some digging it looks like this is not a CR issue but is something
that was built into windows by design ( what the %^&$&^ were they thinking
? ) there is no way to print to file from a program without the savetofile
dialog being displayed to the user.

I have decided to use GhostScript for now, since this won't be used in a
distributable app ( for now anyway ) this dependancy is not that big of a
deal.

In the selectprinter operation, there are three parameters. Driver,
Printer, Port. You should be able to set the port. I'm not sure if you
can set the port to the filename and have it print.

I don't use VB to do this, so I'm not sure the exact code, but there's
a drivername, printername and portname attached to the report object,
you can see what they are set to after doing the manual print to file.

Hi Iain,
sorry but i really have no idea what you are referring to.
- I cannot locate a 'port' property anywhere in the CR ReportDocument
object hierarchy
- I assume that by 'file box' are you referring to the 'Print To File'
dialog ? if so, the whole point of this question was how to print to
file
programatically - ie. no user intervention.

printtofile sets the port. Use the port property to set the port.
(Offhand, I don't know if the port should be FILE to get the file box,
or the filename you wish to export to. )

no , export only supports a specific set of export formats.
I would like to have the report saved to disk a as a tiff, which is
not a
supported format - note that there are NO supported image file export
formats ( double doh! )
manually i can print to a fax printer and specify 'print to file' to
generate a tiff file.
but, as i said, the crystal ReportDocument PrintOptions does not
expose a
PrintToFile property so there appears to be no way to do this
programatically :-(

Since the CrystalReport ReportDocument apparently lacks a

option
( doh ! ), does anyone know of any way print a report to a disk
file
programmatically ?

It's export to file. Check out Exportoptions.
