running a crystal report from script not from screen

Is it possible to run from a script running in Cygwin in any way a crystal report with parameters and get the report back in pdf format?
What i am trying to do is - I created a crystal report and I need it to run at night from a "scheduler".
I need to know if it is possible to run the report from a script (including sending the report 2 parameters) and have the report save to a PDF file automatically?
Thank you!
There are Crystal Reports SDKs for .NET and Java, available on the official download pages: https://www.crystalreports.com/download/
And, of course, a wide variety of third-party tools that promise to support scheduled report generation – I'd suggest to google after "crystal reports scheduler" or take Ken Hamady's list as a starting point: https://www.kenhamady.com/productlinks/

Crystal Reports 8.5 Stop Horizontal/Virtual Pages

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)

Crystal Reports, how to, change paper size at runtime?

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

Crystal Reports Embeded Image Size

I am having trouble adjusting the size of an image (EMF) embedded using the Crystal Reports 10 designer. I am importing the picture as an OLE object using the Insert menu and selecting picture.
I have 2 workstations which access several reports. Each workstation imports the image at a different size.
I can import and adjust the size correctly on Workstation 1 but adjusting the image's size on Workstation 2 makes the image too small.
Any advice or insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
I have personally had some oddball issues with GDI, and I would examine the Windows High Priority Updates and Custom Updates on both machines. You may need to apply the following GDI+ Update.
The other question would be which version of Crystal Reports 10 Service Packs you have on each machine. I hope this helps some.

Can you start Crystal Reports 10 in read only mode so users can't create or change a report?

I'm in an environment where I have created reports in CrystalReports 10 and only want my users to view the report from an external application. The application is already set up to open the report with crystal, but I don't want my users to be able create or change the report. I can't seem to find a command line option to do this. Is there a runtime only version of Crystal?
embed crviewer and craxdrt components in your app (delivered with CR developer's edition, free to distribute) so that you'll be able to view reports without modifying them. Basic manipulations (zoom, search, export to pdf, display/hide details or groups) can still be done.
If you must launch this viewer from a command line, I'd advise you to embed it in an office document/file and manage it through VBA. You could for example launch the runtime version of Access (free to distribute) that will contain one generic form for Crystal Reports display.
There are Crystal Reports viewer components which you can use in your projects. They are coming with the Crystal Reports Developer editions and you can use them in almost every programming language. There you can define the report as view only if you want.
Go to SAP.com and search for "Crystal Reports Viewer". It may or may not do what you want.
Also take a look at "Crystal Reports Server". CRS XI is a nice reporting portal with many useful server-side features. Schedule reports to run and auto-publish. Generate PDF or Excel output. Limit access to reports (or groups of reports) by specific users, etc. But for your application you can use HTTP access within your application to the published results. This is a good solution for example when you have a large number of users viewing the same reports.
What about marking the file as read-only? If the viewer opiton isn't open to you.
