Exporting a report directly to a PDF file

[DBM]

I am trying to export a report generated using Crystal Reports for .Net
directly to a PDF file without requiring any associated user interface. The
report does not directly query a database, but has an ADO dataset loaded
(there are also a couple of report parameters that get set during
configuration). I can get this to work if I display the report uisng a
report viewer control, but it fails if I don't. Can any body point me to
some examples that meet this need?

TIA

Brad

Paul,

I've actually implemented this almost exactly in my code. The error message
that I'm getting is :

CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterFieldCurrentValueException:
Missing parameter values. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
(0x8004100E): Missing parameter values.

I've correctly loaded the parameters and the report is okay if I display it
using a report viewer control, but fails when I export. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Brad

Can you post the code you have?
