Nothing is more infuriating that receiving an email with a blank attachment. That's why your users will love the Exception Handling module in CRD.

Want to deliver Crystal Reports by email as PDF file attachments?

That's a standard capability of CRD, right? Yes, but consider this. While doable, the IT Security advise of “Never open a PDF and never click on a link” puts the PDF open rate down around 50%.

So, why not export each recipient's customized report as html or image embedded in the email body? This will bypass any firewall rules on attachments, any IT rules on PDF clicking, and increase the view rate significantly - all without human interaction.

CRD Report Export

How about delivering Crystal reports as Excel documents?

Yes, CRD can export Crystal Reports to Excel. You can even choose data-only or formatted exports. But, how about exporting multiple reports as individual tabs in the same workbook? Or burst each report group into an individual worksheet, and present your report as a number of worksheets in a single workbook?

Why not password-protect the workbook before it is delivered? What about data-driven customized tab names?
