Way to export Crystal reports formulas to a readable document

crystal-reports

I have a very complicated Crystal Reports XI rpt file with 30+ group header sections,
each with its own suppress (No Drill-Down) formula. I would like to document this report
in a separate ASCII txt file so I can get an overview of the report. Is there any tool or any way I can export Crystal Reports XI formulas without going through each section and copying them?

The export functionality provides an export format called "Report Definition" which will export the complete definition, including all formulas, to a text file.

You can use ReportDocument.Load method.

ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument();
reportDocument.Load(reportName, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy);
crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = reportDocument;

Crystal reports suppressed section still leaves blank spot

OK, I sorted it out.

The problem was the next subreport / section I wanted to show was too long to fit on the first page so was starting on a new page each time.

To fix I had to right click the subreport click "format subreport" then click the subreport tab, then untick "Keep Object Togeather"
