I often use PDF Creator simply to create PDFs of my reports. It often provides a more accurate PDF than the export feature within Crystal Reports. And you can't argue with free. Thanks Andy,

Good point. I often use PDF Creator simply to create PDFs of my reports. It often provides a more accurate PDF than the export feature within Crystal Reports. And you can’t argue with free.

PDFCreator is an OpenSource PDF converter that "...easily creates PDFs from any Windows program. Use it like a printer in Word, StarCalc or any other Windows application. " It may also solve another issue (not tested): if you open a report developed by someone else, Crystal goes looking for their printer and this can take some time. If all developers use, say PDFCreator as default printer, Crystal would always find it, no delays. Greetings, Andy Try using PDFCreator, it gives an A0 paper size with a width of 48inches and others.
