RE: Export report without printing Report Footer 1

[allyne]

Hello,

I'm using SAP Crystal Reports 2016 and have a report that has a pdf embedded in the page footer and is displayed as an Icon. This is needed for the report. Is there a way to suppress or hide this when the user exports this to a pdf or excel as we don't want to print the Icon.

Thanks much!

Add a parameter {?Export/Print} with yes or no options. Then use the parameter to conditionally suppress the footer or object.

Thanks for your quick response!

Is there a way to do this without a parameter? It works except It shows up in the parameters for the users to filter from. Is there a way to create a button the user can click to hide/unhide the pdf? I would like the user to be able to turn this on or off within the report and not within the parameter selection.

Thanks for your help!

That really isn’t much different from using a parameter. Note that once the user has run the report, they can change the parameter for export/print without rerunning by using the parameter list to the left of the report canvas.

I don’t know of any other way to do this.

I think your right. I've tested this many ways and this is the best way so far. Thanks so much for your help.
