Prob Creating PDF with Adobe 7.07

[GaryDean]

( First, I'm using .net 1.1 and, yes, I posted this problem on the
Adobe Forums but that won't do any good because they have very poor support)

In the code pasted below, MyReport is a Crystal Report object. this code
works with all Adobe readers except for the new 7.07. If the client has
Adobe 7.07 nothing happens. With Adobe versions 5 and 6 the reader produces
the Crystal Report in PDF format.

Apparently they have changed something. does anyone have any ideas?

MyStream =
MyReport.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(MyExportReque stContext)
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ClearContent()
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Dim myBuffer(MyStream.Length) As Byte
MyStream.Read(myBuffer, 0, CType(MyStream.Length, Integer))
Response.BinaryWrite(myBuffer)
Response.Flush()
Response.close()
Response.End()

That seems to be a MIME-Type problem for me.

Have you tried to see if an "upgraded from prior version" Adobe 7.0.7 will
read it?

Sorry, we have projects that uses AdobeReader ActiveX plugin to read PDF
files so we have to maintain the version we use, and cannot upgrade to 7.0.7
to see myself.

Hi Gary,

I also think the problem is likely due to some breaks/changes of adobe
component from v6 to v7. We haven't any good resource on this, however,
since the component is called by the crystal report component, and the
lastest version should be built with .net framework, you can use the
reflector tool to inspect the crystal component's code to see whether you
can get the clues there. Also, I recommend you contact the crystal report's
support on this issue:
