I have a report that uses boxes around test blocks and subreports. When I export to Word, they do not get sent.

I really need also to export this same report to PDF. I don't see how to do this, although I have seen others do this.
 
You can download the pdf driver for Crystal 8
from Crystal's web site. ixm7@psu.edu
 
Another way to export to a pdf-file (work with any application):
1) Install a postscript(!) printer driver (eg. HP Laserjet
5P/5MP PostScript)
2) Go to the properties of this printer driver and change
the Port to "FILE" (Creates a file on disk) on the
'Details' tab.
3) Download and install Ghostscript and GSView from
4) Open your CR-file and change the printer driver to the
one you just installed.
5) Print (save a 'prn'-file to disk)
6) Open the 'prn'-file in GSView
7) Convert the file to the 'pdf'-format in
the 'File/Convert'-menu, et voila! (it doesn't work
perfectly though)
