Recently, we have upgrade from Crystal Report 8.5 to Crystal Report 2008. There are users who use Crystal Report 2008 Offline Viewer to view generated RPT file. However, we found that some functions are missing when compared with ver. 8.5. Are there any workaround or solution?
1) Startup of Crystal Report 2008 Offline Viewer is slow when user double clicks on a RPT file. It requires much longer time to load the application than previous version.
2) There does not exists "Export to Extended Excel format" in 2008 viewer
3) There does not exists functions such as
a) Selection Expert
b) Sorting Order
c) Chart Format
d) Selection Formular
The above functions are available in previous version
4) When printing report designed with A3 paper size, the printer dialog box does not default to A3 paper size. Similar, when printing report designed with duplex page printing, the printer dialog box does not default to duplex page printing
5) Are there anyway to shrink the left-hand side panel by default?
Thanks in advance,
Raymond
