ASP.net - Exporting Crystal Reports to PDF appends the letter "i" to specific words randomly

We use Crystal Reports to create pdf customer accounts (from the CR template). It works great, except that the engine seems to add the letter "i" to the random words in the output. Some alignment problems are also obvious (words overlap, etc.). Standard fonts are used.

We use .net 4 and C # related to 10.5 CR builds. The latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed on the server.

We now tried this through 12.2 CR builds with the same results. We also tried several .rpt files with the same results.

I have the same problem sometimes. I have it on my developer's machine, and now on Win2k8 x64, but not on my Win2k3 x32 test server.

This is a mistake somehow in generating PDF in combination with the Calibri font. The only solution I have is to use a different font.

Same issue with Caliber font; I am using .NET 2.0 and C # with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008.

I did not test this, but someone reported that using a PDF printer instead of exporting to PDF directly from Crystal is a workaround for this problem: http://community.sagesaleslogix.com/slsl/board/message?message.uid=10777

Printing a document to a printer using PDFCreator, and not directly to the PDF file that worked for me. I have CR 2008 Viewer and Adobe Reader 8.3.

I had the same problem with Calibri Font. Then I changed the font to a regular font, such as Arial, Tahoma, Verdana . He solved my problem.

I assume that you used unusual fonts for text fields, formulas, etc. objects in crystal reports . If you do not want to change the font, try installing the required font on the production server for crystal reports .

This works for me.

  • Close the Crystal Reports Designer.

  • Open the Microsoft Registry Editor. (In MS Windows, on the Start menu, select Run and type: regedit)

  • Go to the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ SAP Business Objects \ Suite XI 4.0 \ Crystal Reports \ Export \ PDF For CR for VS 32 bits use this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ WOW6432Node \ SAP BusinessObjects \ Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 \ Crystal Reports \ Export \ PDF

For CR for VS 64 bit, use this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ SAP BusinessObjects \ Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 \ Crystal Reports \ Export \ PDF

Note. The last part of the path may not exist. If so, just add the missing keys. You can add the "Export" and "PDF" key with the right click and the New "Key"

  1. Right-click on the PDF file and select: "New - DWORD Value"
  2. Set Name: UseCustomEncoding
  3. Set value: 0
  4. Restart Crystal Reports.
