Exporting memo field PDF

[Krusher]

I am running Crystal enterprise version 8.0.2.672. My dilema is that I have created a report in Crystal Reports 8.5 and it contains a memo field with an unlimited character length. The problem is that, when I export the report to either a PDF or RTF or any other format for that matter out of Enterprise, the memo field only prints out on the first page and then prints a word or two on subsequent pages. So, for example, if the memo field is 5 pages in length, the exported document will only contain the first page and print a word or two on the subsequent 4 pages. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ugh, sounds buggy...

I don't know if there's a fix in the hotfix for CE 8:

If not, it might be an inherent limitation.

One kludge fix would be to install one of the many freebie print to PDF drivers on the market and use that to cut a PDF file (I use this for some MS Access requirements).

According to the CR 8.5 Export Limitations document, support for memo fields exported to .pdf format is limited. You're probably out of luck:-(
