How to Export to PDF under CR 8...

[davemassey]

Hi all,
I can't seem to pin down which dll's are required for exporting to the PDF format under CR 8. Can anyone please tell me exactly what I need and where the files need to be deployed? (My users are using win9x, winNT, win2k, winXP.)

Thanks!

I didn't even think you could export to PDF pre-CR 8.5...

According to the Runtime.hlp file for CR8, you need to place U2FPDF.DLL in the \WINDOWS\CRYSTAL directory of the client machines.

However, it doesn't mention anything about the .dlls needed for page-ranged exports (in 8.5, you'd need these if you were going to export to PDF or RTF), so I don't know if it'll work or not.

I probably should not have been so restrictive in my post -- I want to export in as many formats as possible but have not been able to do so consistently. On client machines (which rely on my installer to install the required CR components) I sometimes get things like zero length disk files, or an "unable to start server" or I attempt an export and MY application just dies. The CR help has not be helpful in telling me exactly what needs to be installed, what needs registered, etc.

Thanks...
