Delphi - how do I export a rave report to Excel - delphi

I have a rave report that has 50 pages
I need to generate a PDF report with that has pages 1 to 50 and
generate a excel spread sheet that has pages 1 to page 3
I am using Delphi 2006 Rave reports 6.5 and gnostice v2.5
Question:
How do I export the first 3 pages of the report to excel?

You can't. Rave doesn't support excel directly.
Dump your data to a csv which excel can open.

You can use ESB RaveViewer (free tool)

I Am Using crystal report 9.
Is there any possibility to copy the data from crystal report viewer?
Please suggest.
There are several ways to copy the data from a report in Crystal Reports. I'm not 100% for crystal report 9 however I except it to be the same as in XI:
-Navigate to File (top left of the window) -> Export -> Export Report. At this point there are several options to export the data (pdf, excel, etc.)

Convert Crystal Reports to FastReport for Delphi XE4

My company just switched from using Delphi 2007 to Delphi XE4, and now we want to move from Crystal Reports to FastReport. However, we have over 200 reports that need to be converted. I know there was an "official" converter available on the FastReport website but it doesn't seem to be available for Delphi. Is there any other converting tool available to do that? Or is there a way to get my hands on the original mythical converter for Crystal to Fast Reports?
You can download the FastReport converters from Fast Reports here:
http://www.fast-report.com/en/download/public_download/fr5.vcl/Converters.zip
It includes RptToFr3.exe which can do the conversion. I don't see any documentation outside of forum posts on the subject though.
The archive continues the following
FastReport.Bars.dll
FastReport.dll
FastReport.Editor.dll
FrxToFr3.exe
RdlToFr3.exe
RptToFr3.exe
You can find the documentation here:

Export Crystal Reports 2011 to MS Excel 2010

We are currently using Crystal Reports 2011 and Excel 2010. Some of our reports have 65k rows and would like to export those file into Excel 2010 file. I found out I am able to export all the data into one sheet if I choose "Microsoft Excel Workbook Data Only" as Excel Export Format but we would like to keep the format and layout as well. Is there any way to export the report which has more than 65k rows into only one sheet of Excel 2010 with formatting? I believe one sheet in Excel 2010 is able to have a million rows.
Thank you.
I found out that Export to .xlsx is only supported by the Excel Workbook Data Only option and CR 2011 will export data into multiple sheets since the .xls format has the 65k limit. If can't preserve formatting and export to .xlsx - the feature isn't available yet.

Crystal report export to rtf and open with word 2013 reduces image proportion(size) and align to left

when i export my crystal report 13 to rtf format and then open with ms word 2013 , it seems like the document content and image size getting minimised and aligned to left. I noticed that there is no option for export to word 2013 but to 2003,2007 and some other options, what should i do to overcome my problem. Please help anyone to find a solution for this. Thanks in advance.
Crystal is not useable with Office 2013. You should use another reporting tool if you need to embed reports in Word.

Delphi - How to save multiple Rave reports to one pdf file?

I have multiple rave reports(projects) in the project(the delphi project) and I want to save them all in one pdf file. How can I do it?
While I don't have any real experience with Rave reports, I also had to perform stitching of multiple "pdf" pages to a single pdf document. I ended up using Gnostice PDFToolkit to do the final merge and it works quite well. In my case I was generating multi-thousand page documents, so i'm sure it will fit your needs.
Does Rave already export to PDF? If so then there are a number of libraries that support merging of PDFs programmatically. The main difference between them will be how many files they can merge at once (some support only two and some support merging a full array at once) and how quickly the output is produced.
If Rave doesn't already export to PDF, however, then you'd likely need a printer driver based PDF component. The idea would be to tell Rave to print the report to a named virtual printer, then use the printer driver based component to capture that print job as a PDF. Once you've got the PDF, you can do the merge.
It's been years since I've personally worked with Rave (last time was in the C++Builder/Delphi 6 days) but hopefully this helps. If you need more info just let me know, I worked at Borland for a long time (before they became Embarcadero) and now work with PDF toolkits for developers.
