Keep Your Crystal Reports.
Take Control of Delivery Costs.
Your reports already answer the questions that matter. CRD, the Crystal Reports scheduler, prepares each recipient’s files and delivers them automatically. Keep the reports you trust, reclaim the hours spent sending them, and reduce your reliance on SAP Crystal Server for that delivery work.
- Automate delivery directly from your existing Crystal report files.
- Personalize customer reports without Crystal Server publishing for CRD-run jobs.
- Send useful PDF packs and Excel workbooks, ready to open.
- Bursting, packages, event automation and API access are all included.
Excel Without the Extra Shift
Open the Workbook. Get Straight to Work.
The export is only useful when your colleagues can work with it. CRD prepares the workbook they expect, so the next person can begin their review instead of rebuilding the file.
- Keep the layout or focus on the data. Choose formatted XLS output or data-only XLSX for analysis.
- Give every report group its own worksheet. Use Excel Group Bursting and meaningful tab names so finance can find each department’s figures.
- Finish the workbook before it leaves. Assemble compatible report outputs, set the filename and apply supported workbook protection as part of the delivery.
Personalized Report Distribution
Each Customer’s Report. Without the Publishing Purchase.
A customer needs their statement. A branch manager needs their own figures. CRD can prepare and send those different versions directly, without buying Crystal Server Automated Publishing for the jobs CRD performs.
- Start with the recipient’s data. Use parameters, report groups or database instructions to select what belongs in each delivery.
- Personalize more than the report. Drive filenames, email subjects, messages, recipients, formats and destinations from your data.
- Make each delivery useful and protected. Choose the right pack and supported output security settings, including recipient-specific PDF passwords.
Reporting Around Your Business
Ready for Monday. Or the Moment Something Changes.
Some reports belong on a calendar. Others matter because an order was processed, a file arrived or a business condition changed. CRD can work with both.

Report Emails People Can Use
Give Your Report Email a Reason to Be Opened
A useful report deserves more than a generic attachment message. Send a personal introduction, include the file the reader needs, or display an individual report in an HTML email body.
The message belongs to the recipient
Personalize the subject, message, filename and To, CC and BCC details alongside the report.
Let the reader choose how to use it
Send attachments or a merged pack for saving and sharing, and embed an individual report in the HTML email body when that suits the reader.
