I have a created a report using Crystal Reports 10. The report contains information about the activity of a person. I need to generate and export this report into PDF for a number of persons (e.g. 70) automatically and save each PDF file with the name of the person, so I will get 70 PDF files.
I have searched for a solution on the Internet but did not manage to find anything helpful.
Can anyone help me with an answer?
Thank you!
You should hook up a parameter to the report's record filter - this way, you can make the report display only records for one particular person.
Then it's just a matter of writing a loop that sets the parameter value and exports a (uniquely named) PDF for each person.

I need help creating a solution that would help me resolve PDF text replacement. We hired a programmer that tried to achieve our objective with a python-coded app but failed.
Our project hopes to automate these steps:
Get a folder with pdf documents
In Each document, we need to find particular text (usually in the upper third of the page). The information can be on multiple pages.
Hide/erase/ and replace the text with different information that we would pull from excel or SQL database. Make sure that the text is replaced on all occasions.
Next, rename the document based on the assigned doc name (pulled from excel or SQL).
Have a report of all documents that were processed and when the new version was and was not created.
Keep the original document saved for review and comparison.
I am happy to provide the original code from the developers if necessary, but it did not work...
Thank you for your help, community!
I'm trying to acheive having a summary section of a report saved into a separate pdf file. (Basically trying to avoid running two reports for the same data.)
Is it possible to export a particular part of an SSRS report to a separate pdf file?
I.e. If I had a summary table/rectangle within the main report, can it be saved separately from the main report? Having a pdf editor to split the file as suggested in:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27938046/ssrs-export-subreports-as-seperate-reports.html
I don't feel would save the time/hassle it costs to run the report twice.
Would this be an application for a linked report? I haven't used these, but it would seem a lot of information to pass through parameters (or am I missing something?).
I don't think that can be done in SSRS: you'll need special code like in your example that splits the pdf for you. If you just want a hands-free option, create two reports and have them run via subscription into the folders you need.
Is possible add existing pdf file to ActiveReports 6 report?
We have two application.
First application create report and save it as pdf in shared folder.
Second application create own report and if report from first application exists - user want that report of first application will be added to report of second application.
Applications have different database. So regenerating first report not a solution for this case.
pdf combining is one workaround - which can be used if no solutions will be found.
You can do what you're describing with the rdf file format 'activereports' built in format. Not with pdf. However, once the second report is generated and the two documents ar combined you can export them to pdf
So far answer for question is No, it is not possible.
From Internet found only that in DataDynamic(ActiveReports is/was a part of DataDynamics) reports is property
"append existing .pdf to report"
But ActiveReports is another product, which haven't this possibilities.
In my case we decide to use #Issam workaround(save .rdf file to another folder and use it later with another report).
I accepted own answer, only because the reason, question was created, was to check if this kind of possibility exists for ActiveReports
I have an Acrobat form for work that our salesmen use to create proposals for jobs and their corresponding estimates.
The problem I am facing is that the form only stores data for one customer at a time. I am trying to get it to where they can type in a customers name (or job number, etc.) and it pull up all the form data used for that customer when that exact estimate was done (no matter how long ago it was).
How can I get my PDF form to do this (save current and all previous inputs) and not just save the current data in each editable field at a time?
I currently use Omniform and it does all of this; however, we are trying to switch over to Adobe and I am not too familiar with the software and how I can accomplish this!
Thank you in advance!
If you want to do all the processing local (without server roundtrip) you would have to embed all data in the PDF itself. There are several ways to do this but I would recommend using JavaScript. You would declare this at the document level. You would handle the blur event of the customer name (or other key field), find a match among the multiple customers and populate the secondary fields.
Assuming the data sits somewhere in a database, you would have to generate such a PDF or manipulate an existing template programmatically using a library. Not sure if you are looking to a programming solution or a tool.
Here is more info on JavaScript for Acrobat:

I have a parent report that generates a series of subreports. After clicking the preview button, I can see the final report built with the actual data, and I may print it or save it to file. File may be a MS Word doc, a PDF or others. Perfect. I can do that individually to each report I need. My problem: I have a base report that will run a subreport several times. Instead of having them all in a big PDF file as output, I need to save each individual subreport as a file separately. Otherwise, I will have to run these subreports individually each at a time, which will eat up a lot of time, besides being more error prone. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
Can you create a subscription for each sub report to save a PDF to a file share?
