Jim,

The help documentation should tell you which runtime files you'll need to distribute in order for the PDF export to work.

If you're using the RDC, then you will have to manipulate the ExportOptions object of the report object. According to the help, the FormatType property specifies what kind of export you are doing.

Of course if you want to just prompt the user what file type they want to export to, then just call the Export method of the report object passing in .T. as the parameter. Then when PDF is selected, Crystal takes care of the rest.

Hope that helps.

Laterness,
Jon
