CrystalKiwi Bursting
Crystal Reports Bursting: send a report to multiple destinations with personalized details for each recipient.
Product Summary
Do you need to send a personalized report to multiple recipients? These reports can be sent via email, saved to disk or sent to a printer. Our report bursting feature is a powerful feature of our report scheduler, but we've also split that out into a separate application for those of you who only need that functionality.
Crystal Reports 2021 is the latest version of Crystal Reports Designer and they have finally moved from 32 bit to 64 bit application. We have built this new report scheduler with the developer run time to support the latest 32 bit version of Crystal Reports and will upgrade to the 64 bit shortly.
We have built this on a Windows 10 (64 bit) workstation so can confirm it works well on Windows 7, 8 and 10, and for both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows. It will also work with your Windows Server and even Windows Vista or XP machines and it can operate in a terminal server and Citrix environment.
