> I'm trying to export a Crystal Report 8.5 to Adobe Acrobat, to create

> Problem One - Using Crystl32.OCX, the control does not have export pdf
> format to select.

> Report.ReportFileName ="c:\mytest.rpt"
> Report.PrintFileName = "c:\pdf_report.pdf"
> Report.Destination = crptToFile
> Report.PrintFileType =  <----- Cannot select PDF Format

> Therefore, I'm using the following function to export PDF format.
> Dim appl As New CRAXDRT.Application
> Dim rep As CRAXDRT.Report
> Set rep = appl.OpenReport("c:\mytest.rpt", 1)
> rep.ExportOptions.DiskFileName = "c:\pdf_report.pdf"
> rep.ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
> rep.ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
> rep.Export False

> Can I use OCX Control to export PDF in Visual Basic?

> Problem Two - After I used CRAXDRT object to export PDF, I found out

> In mytest.rpt, it is using UniversCondensed Fonts. So, I exported it
> to a PDF file in my PC (but my PC don't have this fonts).
> It exported to a PDF successfully. When I opened it, the error message
> appears "Unable to find or create the font 'UniversCondensed'. Some

> If I installed this fonts, it displays very well. But in some reasons,
> I do not want to install this fonts and I can see it well.

> If I'm used a PDF Writer to print this report to a PDF, the PDF do not
> use UniversCondensed Fonts if my PC do not have this fonts. It used a
> Arial Fonts instead of this fonts. So, I can see it very well. In some

> CRAXDRT object to export PDF.

> Therefore, I have a question, how can I export to a PDF that the PDF

> Can I specify the fonts to export a PDF?

> Thanks a lot!
