Crystal Reports for Peoplesoft - outputting pdf's

[Kevinski]

Hello

Can Crystal reports automatically output a series of .pdf files based on report grouping?

Currently I have a report which people run about 100 times inputting a different runtime parameter for 'Subject Area' each time and then outputting each of these reports to .pdf

I'm proposing the report be re-written and grouped by subject and then in one action output 100 .pdf files based on that grouping. Is this possible?

This is called Report Bursting and as yet Crystal cannot do this - however, there are some vendors/third party applications that work with Crystal that can do this.

I think one such company is called APOS - try them.

Cheers

Paul is correct in his response here.

VisualCut by millet software is a recommended one to try.
