How to limit export formats in crystal reports

crystal-reports

For Crystal reports for visual studio .net 2005, you can export the report
to various file format such as pdf, excel, word, rpt etc. If I just want to
limit the user see only excel and word format and set the default file
format to excel, is there a way to do it? Sometimes too many choose is
not good, is it?

Using CRVS2010 , you can remove unwanted export Option.

A new feature of CRVS2010 is the ability to modify the available export formats from the viewer export button. The following C# sample code demonstrates how to set the CrystalReportViewer to export only to PDF and Excel file formats:

int exportFormatFlags = (int)(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.PdfFormat | CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelFormat);
CrystalReportViewer1.AllowedExportFormats = exportFormatFlags;
