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.

VB6 application that uses Crystal Reports 8, but images in the reports are not showing.
Images do show fine in our dev environment but in the terminal server win2012 that users access to get to the application, when running a report the images simply do not show.
I have no idea where to start.
You should check the 'real' paths of images in your application when running OUT the IDE.
To test, add a MsgBox that show the paths of images, so you can discover is it's wrong. If paths are corrects, then maybe a users permission problem.
I changed the images on the Oracle database type field for bmp instead of jpg and now they show fine.
I am new to crystal reports, during execution of my project I'm not able to see the reports on screen. Its displaying an empty page.
I have already install Run time crystal report version=13.0.10.1385 of size 200 MB (from this URL "http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824") but still cant able to see reports. please help me and i also need any lite weight plugins or extension of size < 5 MB if available free
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 have a Crystal Reports project that I am working on where I need to generate a label with UPC-A's. After doing a bit of research, I've found that Azalea Software offers a tool that is suppose to integrate barcode objects into your application.
I purchased the software from Azalea, followed all of their instructions and I can not get their software to work with my report. I don't want to speak ill of Azalea, because their support has been great, but is anyone aware of a legitimate alternative for UPC-A barcode creatioon from within Crystal Reports 2008?
I don't mind purchasing another 3rd party API, I just need to be able to generate dynamic UPC-A images from the UPC-A numbers that I need to encode stored within my database.
Further information-- this is a label document that is printed from a ClickOnce published application that uses the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 runtime, and the Crystal Reports Document Viewer control to view and print these labels.
We use IDAutomation for our barcoding. Very easy to use when installed, you use it like a font on calculated barcode fields. We use it mainly for Code-39 and Code-128 barcodes; though looking at the site it can make UPC/EAN codes too. It also has a selection of sizes for each barcode, alongside the normal font resizing.
On our version you have to install the fonts on every client computer running the report locally; but only once on telnet servers etc.
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.
