Merging and Password Protecting PDFs Exported by Crystal Reports
I have a new Crystal Alliance article published today:
Merging and Password Protecting PDFs Exported by Crystal Reports
source: http://aspalliance.com/571
Crystal Reports has the ability to produce output in PDF format. Often, it is desirable to have multiple reports appear in the same PDF file. Crystal Reports does not have the ability to export multiple reports into the same PDF, or to password protect a PDF, but several third party components can process PDFs post-export from Crystal Reports. We'll use one .NET control named Dynamic PDF Merger to combine two PDFs into a single file, and return the single file to the end user.
I also show you how to add password protection to your exported PDF to prevent the end user from performing functions such as copying or printing the document.
