I'm looking for a way to call a Crystal Report, pass it parameters and either save as a PDF or send it to a printer.

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

It would seem that there are several API's available for Crystal Reports including a REST API. That is usually a good choice but often involves some scripting. There is also a command line tool:

Command line tools are easier to integrate in Switch using the "Execute command" element. Get it to work on the command line first.

I'm looking to set something up like this and found this previous post.

Has anyone had good success with this? Any helpful tips and trick you could offer out would be greatly appreciated. I don't know programing very well
