How to set pdf compression in CR 8.5 1

[PaulH789]

I am creating reports with asp and crystal and I have some graphics that do not print well with default pdf settings. If I use the print option manually and select distiller with "press" or "print" job options the report is fine. I can not determine how to set better quality compression through asp and crystal commands.

Thanks!

Do you mean you have problems with the default EXPORT in Crystal to PDF, or problems using a print to PDF driver?

I don't think that you have any settings with the PDF export in Crystal for this, and I think that the printer driver calls would be dependent upon the printer driver. Contact the vendor for that.

Not enough info but perhaps you are running into the issue discussed in:

You basically need to set the value of two registry keys:
BitMapMagnifDenominator
BitMapMagnifNumerator

view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.

Thanks for the help. Looks like you are both right. The default crystal export option is not good enough for this application. I'm not keen on reistry changes and don't want every report to increase in file size.
