Hi I want to export a crystal report to pdf format . I want to put the name of the report as default filename while I exporting. In my case I set report title using the code as below
reportdocument.SummaryInfo.ReportTitle = "01-02-2013 to 20-04-2013"
So it put date range as the default filename, instead of putting the actual file name.
I want to keep the report title to show as the report header, but at the same time I want to show the report file name as the default name while exporting. How to solve this, please help?

If you are using a save document dialog control, then just set the .FileName to whatever in you want before you call it via .ShowDialog.

Thanks,. But I am using the built in dialog in crystal report viewer. So I don't have any control on it

did you check rptDoc.ExportToHttpResponse,try the following
rptDoc.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, this.Page.Response, true, fileName);

If you are using the default dialog for exporting, i think it will not be possible,

However you can check the events that are generated in the Crystal Reports code behind file to check whether any event is fired at the time of exporting the report.

If this is not there, then instead of using the default toolbar button for export, you have to create your own code for exporting it to PDF, there you can specify the file name while exporting.

Somewhat like this.

Dim myRpt As New ReportDocument
myRpt.Load(<reportfilepath>)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = myRpt
CrystalReportViewer1.Refresh()
Dim CrExportOptions As ExportOptions
Dim CrDiskFileDestinationOptions As New _
DiskFileDestinationOptions()
Dim CrFormatTypeOptions As New PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = <fullpathwithfilename>
CrExportOptions = myRpt.ExportOptions
With CrExportOptions
.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
.FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions
End With
myRpt.Export()

Hope this helps.

Solution 2

You may set the Report title which your Default File name should be..

cr.SummaryInfo.ReportTitle = "Default File Name"
