Hi,

I'm new to crystal reports. I have a file where the information is separated by GROUP. I send that information to customers manually every month. What I do is check the page range on the file itself, and go to PRINT-CutePDF Writer-Specify the dates and then save that file to my desktop.   Is there any way to print each GROUP separately? Once I click on PRINT it should save 20 groups into 20 different pdfs. I still need them in .pdf format. The reason I can't keep doing it manually because it's a big report.

Any suggestions?

There is no way to do this automatically from Crystal.  However, there may be a third-party tool that will help you with this.  There are a number of available tools listed at www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html to get you started.

Before I posted this in here, I had some research done within this forum and outside, and checked that linked as well. However, there's no software in that list that could actually do it.

Is there any other alternate solution for this problem?

Let me rephrase my problem.

I can separate all those files which were grouped together into let's say 90 different crystal files.

What I want is to be able to safe the file name automatically which will have the current date and sent an email to the client?

Will that be possible through a batch file?

Not through a batch file.  You would have to either use a third-party tool to "schedule" the reports or write something yourself using either the Java or the .NET SDK.
