I have a scheduled report in which the format is "Crystal Report". This is a large report (200+ pages). When I print the report, a pop up window from the viewer comes up and the page number increments very slowly. I'm assuming this process is converting the "report" format to a printable format? Anyway, this takes forever. My workaround is to convert the report to PDF and then print the PDF. Doing it this way has cut the printing time down from hours to minutes.
My Question: Is there something I can do to make a large report print faster when it's in "Crystal Report" format or is this just the way it is? What is it doing anyway?
