Crystal Report ReportViewer Print Dialog Slowness

Hi there,

This issue is regarding Crystal Reports integrated for Visual Studio (2013).

The issue I'm currently facing is that once the report has been loaded and the user clicks on the Print button to open the Print Dialog, for one particular report it would take a substantial amount of time (at least 40 seconds) to print ~30 pages which is ridiculous considering we need the system to be responsive.

This issue happened around April 10 of this year and I managed to patch the Print dialog loading speed by removing and re-adding all the dll references to the project but now the issue came back as the user reported to me recently. I could not find any topic on the web for dealing with this issue and how it occurs.
