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 should be able to customize excel script reports here:
C:\Users\ [user] \sahi_pro\config\reports\excel\script_report
As explained here: http://sahipro.com/docs/faq/how-to-customize-html-reports.html
When I make changes, they don't apply.
Edit the script_report XSLT Stylesheet
Run a script
Go to logs
Click on the script that's ran. Should see the script report.
Click on the excel icon on the top right.
This should produce the customized excel report.
I tested to see if the html reports could be edited and I can custom html reports anyway I want using this method.
Editing the XSLT Stylesheets seem to be working for the html reports, not excel sheets. To write custom excel reports, I am using the "Sahi Pro - File Manipulation APIs" in my scripts.

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.
please check this link.

I am working on Jasper server 4.5 version.
I need to know the details on whether i can set the Export to Excel for a report.
In more details all that i need is to have only one export option available for that report.
But at the same time the changes done for this report should not affect the export options of other reports.
Thanks in advance.

Sarakartik
Yes, you can export your reports as .xls or .xlsx files. If you are using 4.5 professional, check out the JasperReports Server User Guide in the documentation. There is a section on navigating and exporting reports. JasperReports Server allows you to export reports in many formats.
As for report-specific export options: because the exporting buttons are at the application level and not unique to each report, I think it might be difficult to enable only Excel exports for one report and not have that flow over into your other reports without extreme customization. But maybe someone else can offer a suggestion.
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. For example:

I was talking to somebody a recently who mentioned it was possible to store reports created using Crystal Reports as XML files.
Upon Googling this, I can't find anything suggesting that this is the case (using data stored in XML in a report, yes, but actually storing the report, the part stored by default as a .rpt file, no.
Am I correct in assuming that there was in fact some sort of misunderstanding between us and it in fact not possible to do this?
It is not possible to store the report template in XMLformat. XML is supported as export format of the "rendered" report only.
For what purpose do you need the report template in XML format. There is a Java reporting solution called Crystal-Clear which can read the Crytsal Reports report template and save it as XML report template. The other way round this does not work. After you created a XML file you cannot open the report with Crystal Reports again. But you can work with the report using Crystal-Clear which is coming with a GUI-designer too.
Use the Crystal Reports SDK to convert the RPT file format to XML.
There's a GitHub project that will convert RPT to XML. The intent of the tool is to use for diffs, so I don't know if there is a XML to RPT converter. Crystal Reports certainly can not take the XML file and open it like a .RPT file.
At least in version 8.5 XML-file is one of the supported export destinations just like PDF, Excel or Word. Seems unlikely they'd have removed the support in later versions.
I just tested in Crystal Reports 10.
Open up the report you want to export, click on export in the file menu, and at least in CR 10, XML is at the very bottom.
Next a screen appears, asking for directory and base file name to save to. According to the Window it uses "Crystal Markup Language" XML Format
