Hi,

Am outputting my crystal report in .pdf format, however during my testing phase I found out that if the client machine does not have adobe reader, then they will not be able to view the report and they get the option of saving to there machine some asp.net code variation of the report page.

Therefore, is there any particular way that I can scan for adobe reader and if it exists then display the report or alternatively inform the user that they cannot display the report as they don't have the necessary software.

I have included a link next to the generate report button through which the user can go to the adobe site and download the latest version of adobe reader, but I'm sure the majority of people will not notice the link or simple ignore it.

Any suggestions welcome.
