How to create one Crystal report from multiple report files? - crystal-reports

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.

Crystal Reports Loading Database info

I have SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and use it to edit reports we use with JobBOSS ERP system. These reports were all put in place before I started here and am just now learning Crystal Reports. I am trying to edit the reports but am having issues.
So when I open the report in Crystal Reports the Field Explorer is showing that the file being used to pull fields into the reports is a TTX file. I know nothing about TTX files and assumed I could just find the data in my tables and import it in but apparently that wont mix well from what I am understanding. I have no clue what to do with the TTX and being able to populate the fields on the page with data from another table.
Where do I start with this? All of my forms use the TTX to pull data. Does anyone have any resources that can help me with this?
To change this report, you must use the report version in the JobBoss production report folder (.rpt). Save the .rpt to a work area. Make changes and then place back in the folder retrieved from. You can add tables to this kind of report but cannot change the .ttx table. The report must be run from within Jobboss. Save the original .rpt to a save folder first. Call with questions.

Generate IReport / Jasper Report containing 2-page report (with 3 columns each) on a single sheet in landscape mode

I'm doing a report for a client and I am not able to mount it according to your need. What he needs is to generate an A4 sheet of PDF in landscape mode, each containing sheet two pages (odd and even), and each page with 3 columns.
Already researched in various forums (both here in JUG as in others) but none could find something to help me with this resolution, and I'm already late with the delivery of this software, where only lack this report the products.
To illustrate better, I am sending this post the image of the result I need.
Please staff, someone knows and / or ever needed to generate a report of two pages on one single sheet? The 3 columns I can generate, but only on 1 page.
If you have any idea or suggestion to also otherwise to generate, will be very welcome, because my chances are very close to exhausted, so I need, and your help.
I'm using version 5.6.0 IReport
Add a one more detail band and those three columns which you would like to show in second page. Adding detail bands makes adding different pages.

How do I create one report from multiple Crystal Report rpt files

I have multiple Crystal Reports rpt files and I need to create only one file from them. The file might be any type of rpt, pdf, doc, excel etc.
My problem is that the report files contain subreports and creating a new report and adding them as subreports doesn't seem to work correctly, not showing the data from subreports in subreports.
I know that CR doesn't support subreports in subreports but I need to find a workaround to create only one file from the reports that I have.
Please help !
Not a problem.
Step 1: Export all your Crystal Reports to PDF.
Step 2: Use a freeware PDF merger to merge them all together.
I made a quick google search and found http://www.pdfsam.org/. According to the FAQ, they also have a command-line version (if you need to automate this process, that's the way to go).
Probably the biggest problem you'll have is making all these separate PDFs look like a single document. You might have to get creative with things like page numbers.
You should be able to create one report that contains all of the subreports. If there is no link (join) between the data, it should still work. If there is one (or more) between them, that should be possible too.

crystal report 10 report header issue

I had a couple of reports which were working properly in crystal version report 9. While exporting the data to excel, it was working properly. But after upgrading to version 10, when we try to export to excel with data only option, the report header is not formating properly. The Report header has 3 rows, but wen I export it to excel(data only), it displays all in same line in version 10 and in different lines in version 9.
if I put it in different report header sections, issue is solved but there are many reports which makes it very difficult to make that change at all places. is there any other solution for this.
Can anybody help me with this.
Any help in this regard is welcome.
Thanks in Advance
Every version of Crystal Reports "tricks up" the Excel export settings and the formatting results they produce. Your only hope is to look at all the Excel output settings and find a way to recreate your expected output. There is a chance getting the EXACT output is not possible in the new version.
Note, your topic has nothing to do with Reporting Services and should not be tagged that way.

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.
