Exporting from Crystal Reports to PDF, Word, Excel and HTML

Crystal Reports is a welcome subjects for blog posts. I still do like the product, my users are very happy with the results, the report editor is not that bad to work with and the components integrate well into a solution. But Crystal documentation is an absolute disaster. I wanted to add some functionality to my basic export routine. The only thing was adding export to Excel and to html. This functionality is present in the basic Crystal installation but how to use it is something which took me really a lot of Googling. The answers were not on the Crystal site but in the dungeons of the usenet. Let me share what I found.

On of the things I learned is that you have to Close() a report after exporting. This was not in the official Crystal example. I havn't measured the effect but it doesn't harm.

Exporting to Excel turned out to be just a matter of setting the right content type. This type turned out to be application/vnd.ms-excel. I had expected application/msexcel, as a nice sibling to application/msword. Exporting to Excel has some extra format options but you can do without them for a basic export. I'll leave these for another post.

To get the exporting to html to work took some things which are next to ridiculous, but I got it working. You have to set some format options. In these options you set the root directory and the filename. This directory-filename pair should be identical to the export filename passed to the report. The result will be an html formatted report, but in a "slightly" different location. To find the result you have to do some tricks. When Crystals creates a report is does create a temporary .rpt file. This file is stored in the windows/temp dir, it's name is a guid. When Crystal creates the exported report it creates a directory in the root directory supplied with the name of this guid. In this directory the report will be created, using the filename supplied. Thank goodness the name of the temporary file is available in the FilePath property of the report. This snippet demonstrates the workaround:

string[] fp = selectedReport.FilePath.Split("//".ToCharArray());
string leafDir = fp[fp.Length-1];
// strip .rpt extension
leafDir = leafDir.Substring(0, leafDir.Length - 4);
tempFileNameUsed = string.Format("{0}{1}//{2}", tempDir, leafDir, tempFileName);

To sum it all up :

protected void exportReport(CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass selectedReport, CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType eft)
{
    selectedReport.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = eft;

    string contentType ="";
    // Make sure asp.net has create and delete permissions in the directory
    string tempDir = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["TempDir"];
    string tempFileName = Session.SessionID.ToString() + ".";
    switch (eft)
    {
    case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat :
        tempFileName += "pdf";
        contentType = "application/pdf";
        break;
    case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.WordForWindows :
        tempFileName+= "doc";
        contentType = "application/msword";
        break;
    case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.Excel :
        tempFileName+= "xls";
        contentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
        break;
    case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.HTML32 :
    case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.HTML40 :
        tempFileName+= "htm";
        contentType = "text/html";
        CrystalDecisions.Shared.HTMLFormatOptions hop = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.HTMLFormatOptions();
        hop.HTMLBaseFolderName = tempDir;
        hop.HTMLFileName = tempFileName;
        selectedReport.ExportOptions.FormatOptions = hop;
        break;
    }

    CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions dfo = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions();
    dfo.DiskFileName = tempDir + tempFileName;
    selectedReport.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions = dfo;
    selectedReport.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;

    selectedReport.Export();
    selectedReport.Close();

    string tempFileNameUsed;
    if (eft == CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.HTML32 || eft == CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.HTML40)
    {
        string[] fp = selectedReport.FilePath.Split("//".ToCharArray());
        string leafDir = fp[fp.Length-1];
        // strip .rpt extension
        leafDir = leafDir.Substring(0, leafDir.Length - 4);
        tempFileNameUsed = string.Format("{0}{1}//{2}", tempDir, leafDir, tempFileName);
    }
    else
        tempFileNameUsed = tempDir + tempFileName;

    Response.ClearContent();
    Response.ClearHeaders();
    Response.ContentType = contentType;

    Response.WriteFile(tempFileNameUsed);
    Response.Flush();
    Response.Close();

    System.IO.File.Delete(tempFileNameUsed);
}

Which is pretty straightforward and even works. With a lot of thanks to the many people on the web who have also been strugling with this.

ReportDocument doc = new ReportDocument ();
doc.Load(this.MapPath("allah.rpt"));
doc.SetDataSource(ds);

### 使用Python将WordExcel文件转换为PDF 为了完成这一任务,可以利用`Spire.Office for Python`库。此库提供了强大的功能来处理不同类型的文档,并支持将Office文档(如WordExcel)转换成PDF格式[^2]。 #### 安装所需库 在开始之前,需确保已安装`Spire.Office for Python`库。可通过pip命令轻松安装该库: ```bash pip install spire.office ``` #### WordPDF示例代码 下面是一个简单的例子,展示如何使用上述提到的库把Word(.docx)文件转化为PDF文件: ```python from spire.doc import Document def word_to_pdf(input_path, output_path): doc = Document() doc.LoadFromFile(input_path) doc.SaveToFile(output_path, FileFormat.PDF) word_to_pdf('example.docx', 'output.pdf') ``` 这段程序创建了一个新的Document对象并加载指定路径下的Word文件;之后调用了SaveToFile函数保存为目标PDF文件。 #### ExcelPDF示例代码 对于ExcelPDF的转换过程也十分相似,这里给出相应的代码片段作为参考: ```python from spire.xls import Workbook def excel_to_pdf(input_path, output_path): workbook = Workbook() workbook.LoadFromFile(input_path) sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0] sheet.ExportToImage(0, 0).Save(output_path.replace('.pdf','.png')) # Note: Direct PDF export not shown here due to API limitations; consider exporting images or using another method. excel_to_pdf('data.xlsx','result.pdf') ``` 需要注意的是,在某些版本中可能不直接提供从Excel工作表导出至PDF的功能,因此上面的例子展示了通过图像的方式间接实现转换的效果。不过通常情况下可以直接使用内置的方法进行转换。
