Realease 2 VS2005 Export Error

I have a crystal report that I migrated from VS2003 into VS2005. The issue is that when I click on the crystal report tool bar to export the data, I get a blank screen. This used to work in VS2003. I can export to all of the other formats but not PDF.

I have installed crystal report release 2. I push the data to the report.

'CR Variable

Public customerreport As ReportDocument

''Fill the dataset with the data retrieved. The name of the table

adoOleDbDataAdapter.Fill(Dataset81, "Client_Individual_Test_Schedule")

customerreport = New ReportDocument()

'Create an instance of the strongly-typed report object

Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath("crystalreport11.rpt")

customerreport.Load(reportPath)

'Pass the populated dataset to the report

customerreport.SetDataSource(Dataset81)

'Set the viewer to the report object to be previewed.

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = customerreport

    I found that if you are using any kind of compression tools or compression utilities you will not be able to export to Acrobat 7.0 or above.

    It appears that Acrobat 7.0 will not work with any compression utilities. If you are going to use compression then you need to use Acrobat 6.0-.

    I was able to resolve the error.

    When using Crystal Reports 11 release 2, I am not unable to export to a PDF format. This only occurs with release 2 and VS2005.

    I uninstalled the most current version of PDF which is 7+ and installed version 6.0.1.11.

    Perform a reboot on the computer doing the export. Open the crystal report again and click export button on the crystal report tool bar.

    The PDF export will now work.

    I have also found that using VS2003 and release 2 the export to PDF works using all versions of Adobe Arobat.

    Has anyone else had this problem
