It's been a few years since I've used Crystal Reports, but it needs multiple DLLs to run. Could be the install is missing either the export DLL or the PDF generation DLL.
>No it crashes but if I look in the report folder the new Crystal report is there and populated with the correct data, it's the pdf that is not being created.
