I have a BLOB column in an Oracle table.
Column value contains xml data.
Currently which is ported to pdf and displayed.
Please note when it is displayed in pdf it spans more then one page.

I want to display this on Crystal Reports.

Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance.
 
Try adding it to a text box. An OLE object won't work as that is limited to one page.

PDF is not an IMAGE format supported by Crystal. It is a DOCUMENT format.

BLOB fields that are JPG, PNG or BMP can be displayed inside the report. If the field contains text that is HTML or RTF it can be interpreted in a field formatting option.

Would a solution that merges the PDF content with the Crystal report content and delivers the end result as 1 combined pdf file work for you?

view, export, burst, email, and schedule Crystal Reports.
