We have developed a .Net C# program that uses Crystal reports to create a report from raw data. We started getting customers with crystal reports errors.  The only common thread was it started happening after a specific date. After tracing it down we came up with KB3102429 as being the issue.  

The app is developed in Visual Studio 2008 and uses Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008.  Would an upgrade have solved this issue ?

    Hi, I had the same problem.

    I'm using Crystal Report 10 Pro.

    I don;t have the problem with Xp.

    But will all newer Windows version.

    I was using Arial and Courier New fonts in my reports.

    To fix this issue I change the font to Lucida Console.

    Or you can remove the update.

    Francois.

    My organization was hit with this issue today. We've experienced it both with PDF creation from client-based applications and directly from Crystal Reports itself. 

    The solution provided here 11478: Cannot export reports to PDF provided an easy workaround until we can bring our systems down. 

    We mainly use Crystal Reports 9.

    Thanks.
