Export report to PDF using Visual Basic

Exporting to PDF format at runtime fails with no error message. I have registered the exportmodeller.dll and crtslv.dll files. Using Crystal Reports version 8.5 on Microsoft Windows 2000 server. I have read about pdf and rtf but in this case export to rtf works fine.

Did you ask for the export to go to an application or a diskfile?

Is the Adobe reader installed on the machne?

I'm using the ocx viewer in my application and when I press the export button I select format: Acrobat Format (PDF) and destination: Disk file. Then I press OK button and then I have "Export selection" dialog I select "All" and press OK. Then nothing more happend and no error appear.

I have Acrobat Reader 6.0 installed on the machine I'm testing this on.

Have you seen this.http://support.crystaldecisions.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011686.asp

So long as you are using the export button it is supposed to work.
Is there sufficient space on the drive for the PDF and the temporary files?
