    Posted: 10 Jan 2012 at 2:08am
Would someone be able to help me with running a crystal report from a command line, so that i can generate a report and export to a pdf file.  My goal is to use this to schedule the report to be automatically generated daily.
 
I can get Crystal to open with the report, but I know there are parameters involved that will generate the desired format and save to a file.
 
thanks
 
Howard

Thanks Ryan, but the parameters are not obvious to me and I just need a simple explanation of some of the parameters for the command line.

After more reading it turns out this functionality isn't built into Crystal, a thrid party application (like the one in my original link) is needed to do this.
