Try to reinstall CR8

It is working on Development machine, but not at client machine. Client machine had installed with .Net framework 1.1. Everything is proper in Development machine. CR8 comes with vs.net and is properly installed, even then the same error is reoccouing.

Kindly send me your suggestion immediately

You have not installed the correct export DLLs to the client machine.
CRXF_PDF.DLL, for example (which is found on Development PC) in \Windows\Crystal\
needs to be installed in client pC in Windows\System\

Despite what others are saying, the export facility in Crystal is independent of the Acrobat install. You CAN export to PDF on a PC even if Acrobat is not present on the PC. You just won't be able to read the files, but the export routine will create them.

So check RUNTIME.HLP in the Program Files\Seagate Software\Crystal Reports\Developer Files\Help folder and search on CRXF_PDF, and make sure you have all the files.

MORE.......
what I remember from creating my own VB export program just this week, is that you need to be sure that crtslv.dll and exportmodeller.dll are included inyour install, and that they get installed to:
Windows folder\system32
(eg on our setup \WINNT\System32)
and both have been properly registered by RegSvr32.exe
