I have around 150+ reports that have a subreport as a footer. In this subreport is some basic company information.
I have to add some more information in the footer.
Is there a way to do this fast? Or do I have to manually edit every report to display this new column?
As far as I can tell when you include a subreport in a report this subreport is saved IN the report that you included it in, right?
So changing the footer file won't instantly update all the reports that have the footer included as a subreport?
Is there a faster wya to do this than to manually edit every single report that has the footer as a subreport?

I have a report where I am using an on-demand sub-report. But my user is viewing this report from a java application. So whenever he run the report he will view this report in PDF.
Report format:
country name location sales
<on-demand subreport>
Now once he run the report he will get all the above fields data in PDF format.
So now if clicked on location field data in PDF will he get the sub-report's data.
PDF isn't intended to generate dynamic content. As such, you'll need to find an approach that will render the desire content in a static manner.
I would suggest that you parameterize your report to display one of these options:
main only
main + subreport
The PDF will either contain the main report's content or the main and subreport's content.

If you are using BusinessObjects Enterprise (BOE), you could use the openDocument API to generate a new report instance or the most-recently-generated instance. I don't know if Crystal Reports Server supports this feature for certain.
If you are rendering reports in a Java application, then you will need to a way to intercept the hyperlinks--a server, most likely. By in large, you'd be reinventing Crystal Reports Server/BOE.
Basically I understand as you need two thing.
you need to generate a report and export/generate in pdf.
in you need to attach link or something like editable field pdf.
For First answer, you can easily hide/show of sub-report in crystal report side. but not after report generate in pdf.
So for second answer, you need to pdf professional or editable allow version. after you get that you simply use itextsharp.dll (to generate pdf from asp.net-see below link).
So finally I think, does not needed crystal report.

I have some reports that have subreports in them. I would like to have only one report, not four. The reports does not have the same layout, does not contain the same fields.
I've tried to add them as subreports into a different new file, but it seems that the data from the subreports in the subreports is not shown.
Is it possible to do this in Crystal? Maybe wrapping the generated files into one? And if so, how do I do that?
Thanks.
Alex, welcome to StackOverflow!
There's no need to repeat a question you asked less than a week ago (How do I create one report from multiple Crystal Report rpt files)
Before you go asking the same question twice, I recommend you look at the suggested answers and respond to them first.
I'm facing a problem in crystal report: I want to display the main report header in the sub report if the sub report opened in separated tab.
Is there a formula or anything to do that.
I used :
Crystal Reports for Eclipse
Version: 2.0.1.r566

Please help me
Can't you just add the main report header to the subreport's header?
As far as I'm aware, a subreport won't show the report header when it's a subreport, but will show the report header if it is run individually.
I have a header subreport who is used in a lot of reports. (about 40-50 reports)
I want the header to be up to date without doing anything manually each time.
Do you know how it can be done ?
By the way, my crystal reports version is 10.5 (The default one in VS2008)
Depending on how the subreport is implemented, you may have some options. Subreports can be made either completely embedded in the parent report OR imported on opening of the parent file.
For example, open up a few of your parent reports and right-click on the subreport. Go into the sub-report's properties menu. If you see a re-import when opening option, then it's not embedded.
I'm not sure what your question is, exactly. If you are designing these reports and want to make a sort of Master/Template SubReport, then you should make it independently, import it into each report, and check the option to automatically re-import the subreport every time the main report is accessed. This way, you only have to update the 1 Master/Template SubReport and all the Parent Reports will be auto-updated next time they're opened.
