Hi Mahesh, Thank u very much for your reply. Actually I have a field in SQL server table of datatype "Image" and in this field a pdf file is saved in binary format. I am retreiving this field, converting and saving as a pdf file in Temp folder. In crystal report I am placing an OLE object and linking to this pdf file. It is retreiving and displaying now in this OLE object but the format is not good. Its like blurred and cannot see clearly as that of original pdf file. I want to have it displayed clearly where user can read it without any problem. Is the method that I followed is correct to display it, if so how can I make it visibly clear. If not any other way to do this.... Your help is very much appreciated.

Crystal is not used to display PDFs. Only PDF Viewer (Adobe) can display PDFs. Crystal Reports is to design reports from data and then convert that data into PDFs, Excel, word or display in the UI. What exactly are you trying to do?
