How to Export Crystal Report to PDF with Java standalone program

[former_member1146060]

Question: Can i export crystal report to pdf using java standalone program (not using web application or server).

Requirement : I want to export crystal report to pdf file using standalone java application. I am able to do so using SAP Crystal Report 2013 on my desktop. For java i have downloaded crjava-runtime_12.2.220 library and using following code.

import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.*;
import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.*;
import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.exportoptions.*;
//Java imports.
import java.io.*;
public class JRCExportReport {
static final String REPORT_NAME = "C:/abc.rpt";
static final String EXPORT_FILE = "C:/abc.pdf";

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
//Open report.
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, ReportExportFormat._PDF);

//NOTE: If parameters or database login credentials are required, they need to be set before.
//calling the export() method of the PrintOutputController.

//Export report and obtain an input stream that can be written to disk.
//See the Java Reporting Component Developer's Guide for more information on the supported export format enumerations
//possible with the JRC.
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);

//Release report.
reportClientDoc.close();

//Use the Java I/O libraries to write the exported content to the file system.
byte byteArray[] = new byte[byteArrayInputStream.available()];
//Create a new file that will contain the exported result.
File file = new File(EXPORT_FILE);
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(byteArrayInputStream.available());
int x = byteArrayInputStream.read(byteArray, 0, byteArrayInputStream.available());
byteArrayOutputStream.write(byteArray, 0, x);
byteArrayOutputStream.writeTo(fileOutputStream);
//Close streams.
byteArrayInputStream.close();
byteArrayOutputStream.close();
fileOutputStream.close();

System.out.println("Successfully exported report to " + EXPORT_FILE);

}
catch(ReportSDKException ex) {

ex.printStackTrace();

}
catch(Exception ex) {

ex.printStackTrace();

}
}
}






Getting following exception on line (reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, ReportExportFormat._PDF);): 

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.crystaldecisions.reports.common.engine.config).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
