2147190908 Failed to export the report

Hi All,
Facing an issue while exporting a report(invoice) to PDF in Crystal 8.5 after exporting 1000's of files(invoices) to PDF.

Error msg "2147190908 Failed to export the report". after generating this error, OKB PDF file is generated and we are nt getting any invoices from then.

We have a Licensed Copy of Crystal Reports 8.5 Developer Version
We are facing a Problem while exporting our Invoices in PDF Format

After Printing Some Invoices It Starts giving the following error
Error message" -2147190908 Failed to export the report".

The Number at which the process starts giving this error is not Consistent .
Some time the problem starts after printing 60, 000 Invoice and some times
it starts coming after 40 to 50 thousand.
But once the problem comes , then it keeps coming whatever we do.

We did the following to rectify the problem but of no use
1. Restarted the machine
2. Un installed the Application and re-installed it .
3. Replace the Crystal DLLs , some of them I am listing here (Crxddrt.dll ,
crxdrt.dll, crxDesignerctrl.DLL, CRXDUI.DLL)
4. Applied the HOT fix patch CR85devwin_en.zip on our existing Development
env

It is a very Critical Problem as Implementation is starting from 31st
January , and Client is just waiting for this patch

Any help will be highly appreciated , In case somebody assure me to
solve this problem we can also go for the annual Support Contract.

Please help !!!!

Regards,
RajWe are experiencing the exact same issue. Reports have been exporting fine for over a year and then suddenly we are getting the same export error.

We have also tried reinstalling Crystal and before we re-image the machine, has anyone found a solution to this issue or at least what we can look into.

You said that there is not a set number of reports where you start to see this error. How were you able to get it to start temporarily working again??

Thanks for any help!|||Incase anyone comes looking, our solution was to empty out the temp folder where Crystal was creating the files before converting to PDF. We had over 75000 temp files sitting in the folder. Why Crystal doesn't clean up after itself I don't know, but we ended up creating a service that empties this folder everyday.

Hope this solves your issue as well.

walther|||Bumping this thread for resolution.

Our system just recently experienced the same issue.

Win2k3 Server
Citrix Metaframe XP
Crystal Reports 8.5
Adobe Acrobat 5

I've already uninstall acrobat, crystals, java, and a plethora of other software in hopes of fixing this bug. I've regsvr32 practically all the dlls and deleted the temp files/folders as well.

I've done practically everything short of reinstalling the entire server.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.|||Hello,

I know this is an ancient subject, but I am running into the same issue. I see that Walther, you mentioned that you solved the problem by deleting the files out of the temp folder. Can you tell me where Crystal Reports keeps it's temp files. I want to view that folder on our box to see what it looks like.

Thanks, Neil

2005 URL ris:format=PDF not working

Using the new reporting services I am unable to get the report to go straight
to a pdf...I can select export and it goes fine...below is my url:
http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fPassParemetersOnUrl%2fPassUrlTest&rs%3ACommand=Render&rs%3Aformat=PDF&lastname=jones
what am ai doing wrong?Is everything on one machine? Or are you using IE from one machine and RS is
on another?
I was just doing this myself (with CSV instead of PDF) and I found that the
global variable Globals!ReportServerUrl is putting in localhost instead of
the server name (I see below that you have localhost which is why I was
wondering if you are seeing the same issue). If I go to the server and use a
browser from there then my jump to URL works.

What I am looking for is to simulate the report server actions of selecting
the PDF format and clicking the export link,
opens another window and its converted to the PDF format but already open to
the PDF viewer.
Then if the user wants to save it from there they can, butthe ofrmatting
seems more stable this way.
Is this not possible with the url?

open/save dialog. Now it is opening it up in the browser. It seems like if
the export functionality can open it up in the browser then we should be
able to do it with the URL. I tried several things and cannot get it to
happen. I will use my MS contacts to see if there is a way to do this.
