Is it possible to insert a PDF file in a Crystal Report

Hi,

I have to generate a report along with couple of forms (which are now in PDF) as sub reports and which do not need to pull any data but they have to be printed as a part of report based on certain conditions.I was wondering is there a way by which I can insert them into the report rather than creating and formatting the forms which is kind of time consuming.Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance !

You can insert the PDF in crystal report.

Insert -> OLE Object

select Adobe Acrobat Document and select the pdf you want to show.

Hi,
I know it's too late but I hope i'll have an answer.

I did the same thing you told to insert a pdf file in crystal report, but it gives me an error message :
"Faled to create the object. Verify that the application is in the register of the system".

Can I have some help please !!

Seems some sort of installation issue.

Please have a look on the link below:

Thanks for your reply.

I re installed crystal report and choose all items, but it still give me the same msg.
And in the link you gived me, they talk about insert a word file not a pdf file :(

Any other idea ?

You are right the link talks about the Word Document but the same way you can insert PDF.

Sorry for being late.

Is it possible to add pdf file at run time.

e.g I want to load pdf files w.r.t requirement at run time.

There is an option of adding the images at run time but never saw this before.
The other way rounds could be:
- You can include as link to some external file.
- Read the whole file as object and pass to the report.
