Missing or out-of-date export dll
Hi Experts

I am using crystal reports 8.5. I am trying to convert a report file to a pdf file in run time using a small vb program.

.Export False  - Raises an error  " Missing or out-of-date export dll. "

Reference
Crystal reports 8.5 Activex Designer run time library

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim CRAPP As New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set CRReport = CRAPP.OpenReport("C:\activitylist.rpt")
    lstrFileName = "c:/activitylist.pdf"
    With CRReport
        .ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
        .ExportOptions.DiskFileName = lstrFileName
        .ExportOptions.FormatType = 31
        .DisplayProgressDialog = False
        .Export False
    End With
End Sub

Checked these two dlls.
U2fcr.dll    
u2ddisk.dll

They were in 2 places C:/Windows/Crystal and C:/Windows/System32. I have renamed  the above 2 dlls from the system32.

But I still face this problem
Any Suggestions

Is this on the development machine or a client?

Do you have the PDF export dll installed?
Crxf_pdf.dll

Possible causes

Hi Matt

For your Information - I am using Windows XP.

I tried all the above mentioned points. I am getting the same error.

Crxf_pdf.dll  - Exists in 2 directories  
c:\windows\crystal
c:\windows\system32

Registered ATL.DLL, EXPORTMODELLER.DLL, CRTSLV.DLL

It didnt work out Matt.


This is on a development Machine

Hi Matt

My system used to have 7.0 then 8.0 and 8.5.
I uninstalled 8.5.
I searched for u2f*.dll and u2d*.dll in system32 directory and renamed them. Uninstalled Crystal reports and reinstalled 8.5 directly. My program is working now.

ddls may have not been updated or registry wasnt updated, but glad you worked it out.

Glad I could help

Actually, if you go into the c:\<windows directory>\crystal directory there should be a .dll called u2fpdf.dll  Make sure you have full rights to this dll and the entire folder.  I had the same problem, but this took care of it.  Hope i am not too late.

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
