Anybody give me an idea to stop the horizontal pages in a cross tab.
It's a total mess up when I export my report to PDF.
Is there any way to do this in printer/page set up? (Without exporting to a separate format)

Can anyone help me with my query.
How to freeze the header part of Crystal Reports 2008 in the crystal report viewing time.
(the header part should be always displayed while the user scrolls down on the report).
I can't find any option for this.
Thanks.

There is no way to achieve that in Crystal alone. But there are ways around that limitation.
For example, you can export the data from Crystal to Excel and freeze panes in Excel.
Or you can export the data from Crystal to a web grid.
There are 3rd-party Crystal Reports utilities that can automate these options.
version: Crystal Reports XI (11.0.0.895), not the Visual Studio version.
Our thick client application that calls our rpt files has printer settings, but I can override that with settings in the rpt file. Like turning the page to landscape for printing out wide data. We do that by dropping in formula called "Landscape" and setting that to "True".
Addition to that I need to be able to toggle between letter size and legal size based on the amount of data being demanded. I've dug with Google for answers, but I keep finding custom paper sizes (don't need) and solutions for the Visual Studio version where I would have access to the code-behind files.
There is no option in crystal reports to change the page size in run time. You need fix the page before developing the reports.
Paper size is always fix at design-time and you are always able to change at runtime by vs, not from crystal report inside.
So only option to change any size from visual studio. You can set any standarad size or custom-size ( Before apply , define paper-size).

Better way Create a Paperform ,to create a Paperform you can find a class in GitHub and use the Paperform name in the crystal report
while running the program change the size of the Paperform according to your requirements, each time you have to delete the PaperForm and re-generate it again
I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 for reporting. When we export the report to Excel, the footer image or textbox is not exported. Header image is getting exported successfully.
Does anybody know a solution for this?
Jon is correct they are exported but on opening the file you wont automatically see them as they are not displayed in "Normal" view, in 2007 switch to "Page Layout" view. not sure what its called in other versions of excel.
Note: You also might want to read this as it relates to the use of Headers/Footers in RDLC and exporting them to Excel.
Footers in Reporting Services are exported in Excel.
To see them, you need to click View -> Headers and Footers (in Excel)
I am generating a crystal report and using a C# prog to break or "burst" the file in to individual pdf's (using this prog.... Crystal Reports "File Break" )
When move the PageHeader section to the "Report Head" section, the details part of crystal reports does not show after the C# prog generates.
When I preview the crystal report from "preview" in crystal reports the detail section is there.....
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
I would post images but the site will not let me with out more than 10 rep points..
This is the crystal report preview
And this is after i generated the pdf.... See how the details section is not being populated, even tho in the preview in CR the activities are showing.... This all happened when i switched the top image to be in the group head instead of the page head....
Assuming there is nothing going on programmatically with hiding/suppressing sections, record selection, etc... generally, if a preview looks different than what is output to PDF or printed, it's always related to printer drivers, fonts chosen, and report printer setup.
For starters, I would make sure you're using a common "HP-compatible" printer as the driver (selected default printer while developing in Crystal) for the report. Also, just for testing purposes, change your report fonts to something VERY simple and "old school" like Courier or Arial. If you get the correct results after this, then go in and tweak/reapply your old fonts.
Also, make sure your individual field objects on the form are set to Can Grow. Additionally, always size your objects bigger than what it looks like it needs. For example, if a field looks like it needs to be 10 characters wide, size it 12 characters wide. This will help with printer and output incompatibilities.
new page break is not working when exporting from Crystal report 9 using visual studio studio.net.
I have set the below options in crystal report 9 design
paper size is a3 and orientation is landscape.
I have created 2 report groups (date and org unit)
I want a page break after every new date and after every new org unit.
I have already set the new page after in group footer1 and group footer 2.
when i export to excel it doesn't break the page after each group is changed.
Can anybody help me to resolve this issue.
thanks

I said this in another question regarding exporting to Excel:
If this was made with CR, I've found
that if a report is going to
consistently be exported to Excel,
it's best to remove ALL formatting
that CR has/does. Otherwise you'll get
weird anomalies like what you're
experiencing and will save you a lot
of grief down the road.
What I've done for some of my users is
create one report with no formatting,
specifically for exporting, and one
report with all the bells and whistles
of CR.
Page breaks are not understood by Excel during the export. The best bet is to do a grouping on the report and render them as tabs in the Excel document.
Crystal has a long history of problems when exporting to excel. There are quite a few tips about on how to get both good looking reports on the screen and in an Excel worksheet. There is no one answer for your problem, as it really depends on just how your report is structured. I googled on "crystal reports page break excel export" and get plenty of material to look at.
