Generating a PDF through the RAS..

[sedmo]

So, I'm using Crystal Enterprise 9 w/ the RAS through ASP pages (not .NET). I've got a ton of reports that all require parameters and to get them in PDF format I currently have to:

-Select the report
-Enter the param
-Click Print
-Click Print All & Ok

This technique produces (2) connections to the data.

All I need is to have the user enter the Param and have the PDF report generated, only creating (1) connection.

So far I can't seem to find any documentation on how this might be done.. Looking at the current asp page's print button (rPortfolio) doesn't seem to help either!

Thanks in advance,
-Stephen

Update:

I beleive that this threat somewhat hits on my problem:

SO I found the sample file "ras9_asp_samples" on the Crystal Support site that has a "Sample Report Export" listed. It says it's supposed to do what I need, but when I run the thing, it just comes up like an ordinary report!?
