Is it possible to insert a PDF file in a Crystal Report

[ANANAYA]

Hi,

I have to generate a report along with couple of forms (which are now in PDF) as sub reports and which do not need to pull any data but they have to be printed as a part of report based on certain conditions.I was wondering is there a way by which I can insert them into the report rather than creating and formatting the forms which is kind of time consuming.Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance !

You can insert the PDF in crystal report.

Insert -> OLE Object

select Adobe Acrobat Document and select the pdf you want to show.

Hi,
I know it's too late but I hope i'll have an answer.

I did the same thing you told to insert a pdf file in crystal report, but it gives me an error message :
"Faled to create the object. Verify that the application is in the register of the system".

Can I have some help please !!

Thanks for your reply.

I re installed crystal report and choose all items, but it still give me the same msg.
And in the link you gived me, they talk about insert a word file not a pdf file :(

Any other idea ?

You are right the link talks about the Word Document but the same way you can insert PDF.

Sorry for being late.
