crxf_pdf.dll - cannot register, entry point not found

[techkate]

Crystal 8.5:

A pc is having difficulties exporting crystal reports to pdf's. At first, the pc didn't have the option to export to pdf at all in the exporting options drop-down list. So, I placed the file crxf_pdf.dll in his c:\windows\crystal folder.

I could not register it, I got an error along the lines of:

The file crxf_pdf.dll was loaded, but the DLL Entry Point was not found. The file cannot be registered.

However, since it is placed here, it is now in the exporting options drop down list, but predictably since it has not been registered, it did not actually export anything.

How do I register this so that Crystal can export to pdf's?

There are 2 additional .dlls that you need to deploy to \PROGRAM FILES\SEAGATE SOFTWARE\SHARED:

EXPORTMODELLER.DLL
CRTSLV.DLL

They don't have to be registered (nor does crxf_pdf.dll).

Hmm...I can successfully export to pdf without these files. I actually have no \PROGRAM FILES\SEAGATE SOFTWARE\SHARED directory. I only have the following directories with these files:

C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Report Designer Component
craxdrt.dll

C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Viewers

C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Viewers\ActiveXViewer
crviewer.dll
cselexpt.ocx
sviewhlp.dll
swebrs.dll
