• Visual Studio Exporting a report to pdf

  Hi, I am getting the following error when I try to export a report to pdf. The process we are following is - 1. First we generate a report and store it in DB as a Document Blob. 2. When we want to view it, we write this DocumentBlob to the disk. 3. We then export this rpt to a pdf on disk. This process is working fine until we change the layout of the crystal report. I added a fake page header to the sub report, removed the already existing header from the sub report and am using the existing fields and not added any new fields. When the layout is changed and a new report is generated, export to pdf is working fine. ...Show All
