Web printing

[KNSPAA]

I have web software, which needs a print option. Web software have 10-100 users.

What possibilities I have?

1. Buy Crystal Enterprise (lot of $$$)?

2. Use Crystal.NET runtime with IIS (User limitations)?

3. Other?

What does printing from a web app have to do with Crystal?

Check out the 3rd party Crystal viewer apps if that's what print option is supposed to mean:

Okay,

I have web software, which should generate dynamic reports from MySQL database. So when the user push the print button, the report should popup in the new windows in printable form (pfd or cr viewer).

I know that I can make it with Crystal Enterprice, but it is too expensive.

Thanks of those booksmarks.

Prior to version 9, Crystal Reports shipped with a Web Component Server that allows you to run a report with a URL. For example,

http://yourserver/virtualdirectorypath/reportname.rpt?init=actx

The ?init=actx is optional but explicitly requests the Active X viewer.

There is undoubtedly a licensing limitation on report distribution using this method.

With higher versions of CR, a 5-user Crystal Enterprise license is available, offering more options beyond the URL approach.
