As a money-saving option, we've been printing to PDF using Win2PDF
rather than Adobe, and we've had good results.

We hope to move up to Crystal XI early next year - I'm very hopeful that
will offer improvements in many areas. I expect we'll have some chatter
in the coming months about report upgrade experiences...

The only solution I have found is to install and use the Adobe Writer
application, and then select it as a printer when it's time to output a
PDF.
The image quality is excellent.

Has anyone used Crystal Reports XI yet? I wonder if the PDF export
quality has improved?

Hi all,

I know that there have been discussions in the recent past about
minimizing distortion (stretching) and duplication of images when
exporting thumbnails to PDF, but have people also dealt with pixilation
of images?

When we print a report with thumbnails from TMS, the thumbnails look
fine but when we export it to a PDF file, the images are not stretched
or duplicated, but they are very blurry.

If anyone has a solution for this, we would be very grateful!
