Hello,

I want to create a scheduled job that exports a crystal report to pdf. I'm using Quartz NuGet as a scheduler. Here's my code:

using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
using Quartz;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;

namespace TestSchedule.App_code
{
    public class LettersJob:IJob
    {
        public static string text;

        public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
        {
            int appno = 201700002;
            int regNum = 1;

            PrintLetter(appno, regNum);
        }

        public void PrintLetter(int appno,int regNum)
        {

            text = text + "A";
            System.IO.File.WriteAllText("C:\\temp\\WriteText.txt", text);

            ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
            Random random = new Random();
            int randomNumber = random.Next(0, 100000);

            try
            {
                if (regNum == 1)
                    cryRpt.Load(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/ApproveLetterA.rpt"));
                else
                {
                    cryRpt.Load(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/ApproveLetterB.rpt"));
                }

                cryRpt.SetParameterValue("@appno", appno);              

                ExportOptions CrExportOptions;
                DiskFileDestinationOptions CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                PdfRtfWordFormatOptions CrFormatTypeOptions = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions();
                CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = "C:\\temp\\CertNo" + appno + randomNumber + ".pdf";
                CrExportOptions = cryRpt.ExportOptions;
                  {
                    CrExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                    CrExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
                    CrExportOptions.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions;
                    CrExportOptions.FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions;
                  }
                    cryRpt.Export();                 
            }
            catch (Exception ex) { Console.Write(ex.Message); }
        }

using Quartz;
using Quartz.Impl;
using System;

namespace TestSchedule.App_code
{
    public class JobScheduler
    {
        private IScheduler scheduler;

        public void Start()
        {
            scheduler = StdSchedulerFactory.GetDefaultScheduler();
            scheduler.Start();

            IJobDetail job = JobBuilder.Create<LettersJob>().Build();

            ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
                       .WithIdentity("trigger1", "group1")
                       .StartNow()
                       .WithSimpleSchedule(x => x
                       .WithIntervalInSeconds(10)
                       .RepeatForever())
                       .Build();

            scheduler.ScheduleJob(job, trigger);
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Optimization;
using System.Web.Routing;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using TestSchedule.App_code;

namespace TestSchedule
{
    public class Global : HttpApplication
    {
        JobScheduler jobScheduler;

        void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Code that runs on application startup
            RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
            BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

            jobScheduler = new JobScheduler();
            jobScheduler.Start();
        }
    }
}

When I run the PrintLetter on Default.aspx Load I get the exported file as I supposed to.

When I run the PrintLetter through the scheduler I only get the text written in the text file.

Any ideas what am I doing wrong? Is there another way to implement the scheduler?

Thank you in advance.
