Ideally what you'd have in the Crystal programming model is an event like OnBeforePrint() and OnAfterPrint(). If I had the path references to the PDF files then I could just call the Acrobat Print action on the PDF file and it would print automatically. E.g.

set oWsh = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
oWsh.run """Acrobat.exe"" /p /h" &FileName,,true

The logic makes sense I guess. I kinda wish they wouldn't protect me from
myself and let me figure that out.



I've been digging to google results this morning and it doesn't seem too
many people want to embed "dynamic" pdfs into a crystal that are pulled from
a location held in a field.

I checked into this. Link a doc, pdf etc and Crystal runs a process that
creates an image and embeds it into the report. You'll notice that when you
link to a large PDF or Doc, Crystal seems to hang for a bit? The image
creation process can take quite some time, depending on the size of the PDF,
Doc etc. If Crystal allowed PDFs and Docs to be linked to files, this image
creation process might have to run on numerous records - resulting in a
major crashing issue.

Perhaps, there is a way to script Crystal and override this safety
feature... but that would be far too ambitious to attempt on a Friday.

We ultimately want them on the job traveler. The engineer that asked for
this may be willing to deal with the limitation of it needing to be a
JPG/BPM/TIF file. Rebuilding the job traveler as a dashboard doesn't sound
like a lot of fun.

He can just scan what ever he want to jpg and attach it that way.

Charlie,

Can this report be done in a dashboard instead? I have gotten dynamic
url linking to work in dashboards before using file paths from a user
defined field in a table or what have you. The image (.pdf, .jpg etc)
displays on a tab/sheet. You could print it from there.

Sounds like it's embedding the OLE object. What happens if you click the

The following bit of code loads an embedded image, specified in a user
defined character field, in a picturebox control on the part form:





Private Sub PartForm_Load(ByVal sender As object, ByVal args As
EventArgs) Handles PartForm.Load

'//

'// Add Event Handler Code

'//



Dim fileName As String = String.Empty

Dim companyAdapter As CompanyAdapter = New

CompanyAdapter(EngWorkBenchEntryForm)

companyAdapter.BOConnect()

Dim company As String = PartForm.Session.CompanyID

Dim found As Boolean = companyAdapter.GetByID(company)



if (found) then

fileName =
companyAdapter.CompanyData.Company.Rows(0)("Character10")

picPartAttachment.Image =
System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(fileName)

end if



End Sub



This got put on the back burner, I still haven't had a chance to test it.

Yes we can attach outside documents to internal vantage documents such as a
part master.



But how can we get it to display on the method that we print off and send
out to the floor?

Here's a suggestion.

Utilize a user character field to store the image locations.

Then on your Crystal report, Insert > OLE Object > Create from File. Select any image and click OK.

Position the image on your Crystal Report.

Right click over the image and select Format Graphic, select the Picture tab and then click the Graphic Location tab.

Enter the image file location, field.

I would think the images should be a standard size or your report could get messy.

If you change to a picture it does change doesn't it?



It's almost like if it is some file type other than an image it needs to be
entered somewhere else.



I wish I could select my datafield at the location that you browse for the
initial file.

When I use your method I can import an intial PDF for example but after I
make the change to the graphic file location it doesn't change.

Here's a suggestion.

Utilize a user character field to store the image locations.

Then on your Crystal report, Insert > OLE Object > Create from File. Select
any image and click OK.

Position the image on your Crystal Report.

Right click over the image and select Format Graphic, select the Picture tab
and then click the Graphic Location tab.

Enter the image file location, field.

I would think the images should be a standard size or your report could get
messy.

Yes, images are displaying the file specified but pdfs only display the
original file. If I get a chance to look into it and get pdfs working, I'll
let you know. If you get it going, I'd be interested in knowing the
resolution.

If you change to a picture it does change doesn't it?

It's almost like if it is some file type other than an image it needs to be
entered somewhere else.

Charlie,



Can this report be done in a dashboard instead? I have gotten dynamic
url linking to work in dashboards before using file paths from a user
defined field in a table or what have you. The image (.pdf, .jpg etc)
displays on a tab/sheet. You could print it from there.

We ultimately want them on the job traveler. The engineer that asked for
this may be willing to deal with the limitation of it needing to be a
JPG/BPM/TIF file. Rebuilding the job traveler as a dashboard doesn't sound
like a lot of fun.



He can just scan what ever he want to jpg and attach it that way.

I checked into this. Link a doc, pdf etc and Crystal runs a process that
creates an image and embeds it into the report. You'll notice that when you
link to a large PDF or Doc, Crystal seems to hang for a bit? The image
creation process can take quite some time, depending on the size of the PDF,
Doc etc. If Crystal allowed PDFs and Docs to be linked to files, this image
creation process might have to run on numerous records - resulting in a
major crashing issue.



Perhaps, there is a way to script Crystal and override this safety
feature... but that would be far too ambitious to attempt on a Friday.
